Dear Colleagues,
A reminder of tonight's event:

Film: The Murder of Fred Hampton

Following up on former Panther leader Elaine Brown's exciting lecture 
during this year's New Student Orientation on the history of the 
Black Panther Party, the Office of Multicultural Education invites 
you to a special screening of Mike Gray's 1971 film, "The Murder of 
Fred Hampton," introduced by Amy Jordan, SS faculty in African 
American History.

Mike Gray started out to make a film about the Black Panther Party, 
but on Dec. 4, 1969, the Chicago police raided a Panther apartment 
and his film became a documentary about a murder. This is a look at 
the Party, its chairman, and the events following his death. Come 
learn more about the Panther leadership and the efforts made by local 
and Federal authorities to eradicate the movement during the Nixon 
administration.

This event is on Tuesday, September 26th, 2006.
It is held at : FPH Main Lecture Hall
This event starts at 7:00 pm, and ends at 9:00 pm.

Sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Education and the Law Program
