Chairman Dr. Fred Hampton Jr. is recognized for his unwavering commitment to carrying forward the legacy of struggle, resistance, and Black liberation.In this powerful moment, Chairman Fred Hampton Jr. speaks on behalf of himself, his father Chairman Fred Hampton Sr., and the Black Panther Party Cubs, reaffirming the enduring truth that while a revolutionary can be killed, a revolution cannot be destroyed. He reflects on the assassination of Chairman Fred Hampton Sr. and Defense Captain Mark Clark on December 4, 1969, naming that day as one of the many acts of terrorism inflicted upon Black people through enslavement, Jim Crow, redlining, and ongoing oppression.With clarity, fire, and historical grounding, Chairman Fred Hampton Jr. reminds us that the struggle continues, that colonial borders do not define Black people, and that the call remains the same: one people, one struggle, Black Power.This clip also highlights the broader mission of repatriation and institution-building, connecting the work of liberation to concrete action for Black people seeking a new life in Ghana.Thinking about moving back home?

Here she sings her powerful lament about the ancient city of Timbuktu, under assault by religious fundamentalists:

THIS IS MY LAND
This is Timbuktu, my home land,
Where the children are mourning from gloom,
This is my land, Timbuktu «the Maliba»,
The land of love,
The land of warmth,
The land of dignity,
Here is my Nation…
Why are we crying?
Why are the children crying?
Why are the young crying?
Cause of unfairness,
Cause of violence,
Fearing the future…
Here is my home
Stop crying
Cause no matter what, Timbuktu will remain
