"The way capitalism created a working class that was kept absolutely destitute, that was wrong. So we took the position that in order for us to be free that system had to be dismantled. We could not be free in a system that oppressed us." @sistaelaine + Phyllis Jackson, Panthers

5 yrs ago @StanleyNelson1 on #DocumentaryMag re @panthersdoc: "There are obvious similarities w/ what is going on today. It's sad to see how little things have changed. There are lessons for young people who are starting movements all over the country..."

“We’re going to fight racism not with racism, we’re going to fight it with solidarity. We say we’re not going to fight capitalism with Black capitalism, but we’re going to fight it with socialism.” —Fred Hampton

It was an honor to examine Fred Hampton's leadership and murder for the film @panthersdoc. It is a story that every American should know.

50 years ago Black Panther Party member #FredHampton was murdered by the Chicago Police Department. Years later I watched filmmaker Mike Gray's doc, The Murder of Fred Hampton, and it set me on a path to become the filmmaker I am today. @panthersdoc
