Happy 80th birthday to the legendary activist, marxist, scholar and author Angela Davis.
In 1970, she was placed on the FBI 10 Most Wanted List on false charges.
As January comes to an end, be on the lookout for BHM events that are hosted by the Gwendolyn Brooks Cultural Center.

On this day in 1969, activist and chairman of the Black Panther Party Fred Hampton, was assassinated by Chicago police and the FBI at just 21 years old.
William O'Neal, an FBI informant, infiltrated the Black Panthers and set up Fred Hampton for $300.
