Months of January and February 2020

"The Assassination of Fred Hampton" is a 2011 book written by Jeffrey Haas.

This book recounts the assassination of Fred Hampton through Jeffrey Haas's personal account. Jeffrey Haas is an attorney and co-founder of the People's Law Office. His clients included members of the Black Panther Party, Students for a Democratic Society, and prominent community activists. This book is a depiction of how Haas and a partner of the People's Law Office pursued Fred Hampton's assassins. The two ultimately prevailed over unlimited government resources and FBI conspiracy.  This book is not only a story of justice, but a story which places Fred Hampton in a new light as a dynamic and charismatic community leader. Fred Hampton was truly an inspiration in the fight against injustice.

We will begin our seventh book on January 1, 2020. Hopefully everyone is now familiar with the site and GroupMe.
