Fred Hampton was 21. Bill O’Neal was 19. Two young men, two Americas. One taught to fight oppression, the other taught to fear it. History isn’t black and white; it’s layered, human, and painfully familiar. #BlackHistory #FredHampton #JudasAndTheBlackMessiah #CivilRightsLegacy #COINTELPRO

He is the grandson of John M. Perkins.
A legacy of truth, resistance, and courage.
Trying to try to silence him is the very antithesis of that legacy.
It won't go quietly.

. I visited the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee, where Martin Luther King was assassinated. It reminds me of why we should vote. Our civil rights leaders gave their lives for us. VOTE!

But 60 years ago today, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 changed the game. ✊🏽
It struck down the racist barriers that had kept millions of Black Americans from the ballot box.

**Lessons for Today:**
- Messaging matters; optics are key.
- Silence in injustice speaks volumes.
- Everyone must be involved.

Learn from this. Win with courage and clarity. Speak up to avoid repeating history.

“FREEDOM” isn’t just a word

We are not truly free until everyone is free.
Our liberation is collective. Our future is rooted in truth.
Our power? Unbreakable.
