The Black Panther party was founded by Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton in 1966. It sought to end the oppression of African Americans and other minorities in the United States, which they believed would happen by requiring that whites no longer have any power or privilege over blacks. The Black Panther Party was one of the most influential organizations in America's history. They were known for their office raids and hunger strikes as well as for establishing community programs for children and adults, health clinics, cop watch patrols, and breakfast program.

This moving memoir combines an intense account of the life and political career of the slain head of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party, with his speeches. Recorded at a time when armed self-defense was a necessity, not just a rhetorical device, Hampton’s speeches are still relevant today.

The Power to the People series is an initiative by the Hampton family and ICG Books that pays homage to a man with a long history of activism. From his days as a community organizer back in high school, to his involvement with the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther party where he became chairman at just 21 years old, Fred Hampton's mission was to empower young people and create revolutionary change. Inspired by Fred P. Hampton Jr., these three speeches are about how power can be used for good, but also how it can be abused.
