“I finally saw that Fred Hampton was fearless. Literally, without fear. And as we listened to the speeches, again and again, it became apparent he had accommodated death. He knew he was going to die... Hampton had simply set that fear to rest. He was free. Thus he was able to speak clean simple truths that hit you like a thunderbolt.“

so-so

Although Fred‘s legacy and life is owed this book, & it is intriguing to learn of his history from first hand accounts...the book is difficult to read as there are too many people named to keep straight. Perhaps it‘s the way it is written. It also intersects w/ the authors life quite a bit considering he only knew Fred personally for a short period of time (but it is my understanding he kept a relationship with the family due to a lengthy trial)
