Abstract
This episode focuses on the importance of political education and the understanding of revolutionary and People’s history in organizing efforts in the Black community. Chairman Fred Hampton Jr. and the Lady of Rage discuss the educational foundation of the Black Panther Party Cubs and the Prisoners of Conscience Committee (POCC), the Rainbow Coalition, and the fallacy of Black on Black Crime. The hosts speak to Brother Fleetwood, author of Hip Hop Tried 2 Kill Me, as well as the family members of Spurgeon Jake Winters, a member of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party who was killed in a shootout with the Chicago Police Department at the age of 19. The episode closes with President Murahu of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA). There are technical difficulties throughout this episode, and at times the audio recording fades in and out.
