In this class, students will learn about Fred Hampton, a 21 year old black panther activist, who strived to protect over black lives in America. His goal was to end police brutality against blacks and hispanics. He spent his life promoting social changes and ensuring that African Americans had the same rights as White Americans. He was a respected leader, who was tragically and unjustifiably assassinated by the FBI.  

Students will learn about his life, and his contributions to the colored people of America. We will talk about his early life, and his life as a revolutionary. I will teach students how Fred Hampton encouraged black people to feel proud, and defend themselves against police brutality. We will briefly talk about the 2nd amendment, and how it is different based on skin color. Students will learn how racism played a big role in his life and death. We will also have a discussion about how Fred Hampton's legacy connects to the Black Lives Matter Movement today in America.


 This class will be very informative and it also connects to my other African American classes. This lesson will be interactive, and each student will have an opportunity to share their thoughts and opinions. Participation is encouraged but not required. If you have any questions about the class or suggestions please send a message.  This class could possibly go over 30 minutes, I think its important to give each student the opportunity to speak and ask questions.
