Happy Birthday Scorpio!

One thing going to do is spread love and hope!

There is a direct personal connection between Fred Hampton and Emmett Till through Fred Hampton’s mother, Iberia Hampton, as she babysat Emmett when he was a child.

August 31, 1955 Emmett’s body was discovered in the Tallahatchie River near Money, MS. He was only 14 years old.

14 years later, December 4, 1969, Fred Hampton would be slain in the height of his activism at only 21 years old.

The fact that Fred Hampton’s family had a direct link to Emmett Till underscores the intergenerational impact of racial violence and the civil rights movement on African American families and communities.

We are still progressing forward but we’re ABSOLUTELY NOT GOING BACK!
