IN THIS EPISODE…
Fred Hampton was an American revolutionary gone too soon. So much of his story is tied to the Black Panther Party. Daniel Kaluuya embodies the leader of the party in the new biopic, Judas and the Black Messiah. In this episode, we'll break down misconceptions around the ideas and history of the Black Panther Party, their impact and their influence on their surrounding cities. We theorize how Hampton’s ideology could impact our modern social age. Judas is a movie that challenges our tolerance for social justice. We challenge you guys to dig deep into the history of the Black Panthers with these documentaries and books: Black Power Mixtape (http://bit.ly/363movie1), Vanguard of the Revolution (http://bit.ly/363movie2) and Black Against Empire: The History and Politics of the Black Panther Party (http://bit.ly/book363).
