Recently watched `Judas and The Black Messiah` which is a movie on the assasination of Fred Hampton.
Highly recommend people check it out. Great performances about pivotal members of civil rights history. As an immigrant to America, I never hear people mention Fred along with MLK/MX even though he and the Black Panthers were such big features. I think this is largely due to the public imagery around the Panthers.
Also not to keep things in media about important people, but I recommend people listen to any Rage Against The Machine tracks to highlight pieces of American history that may be glossed over and exposed in a really raw and accessible way.
