Book on Fred Hampton" is a powerful and personal book by an author known as Yellaboy, who grew up as a white child in a predominantly Black neighborhood in the Mississippi Delta. He was inspired by Fred Hampton's vision and revolutionary spirit. The book contends that Hampton was a visionary leader, not a communist, whose core message was about solidarity and uniting poor people of all races to fight against a system designed to oppress them. The author argues that Hampton's assassination was a calculated act by the state to destroy the Rainbow Coalition and prevent a multiracial, working-class movement from challenging the established order. The book serves as a "street sermon," a call to action for readers to continue Hampton's unfinished work of liberation. Yellaboy details Hampton's revolutionary pragmatism, his ability to build bridges across deep racial divides, and the practical application of the Black Panther Party's 10-Point Program through community survival programs. The book aims to reframe Hampton's legacy, not as a historical artifact, but as a living blueprint for contemporary struggles against systemic oppression, economic inequality, and racial injustice. It is a demand for readers to pick up the mantle and continue the fight for a liberated world.
