More DescriptionIn 1969, elements of the U.S. Government murdered black leader Fred Hampton. In U.S. Federal Court in a wrongful death lawsuit: The U.S. Federal Government, the government of the City of Chicago, and the government of Cook County paid damages to the families in the wrongful deaths of Fred Hampton and Mark Clark. In 2009, a black man became the most powerful person in the world, the President of the United States of America, the leader of the free world. One event helped lead to the other. This short history of 50 pages examines political power and how it was won in the decades from 1969 to 2009. It shows how the aftermath backfired on the assassination plotters. Yes, they had engineered a significant political assassination on U.S. soil of U.S. citizens. But the effects were the opposite of what they intended.
