Hello everybody and welcome back to a collaboration between RevLeft Radio and Deep Into History.

This is a very exciting episode that's long overdue.

I've long been a fan of Deep Into History, both of the sort of social media platform voice

as well as the actual history of the podcast itself.

So it's very cool to finally hook up with you and do a collaboration with you.

And we're going to focus on somebody who is a giant in American history and communist

history and Black liberation history, somebody that has inspired you and I very deeply,

which is Fred Hampton.

So we're going to discuss the historical context that gave rise to the Black Panthers and

eventually Fred Hampton.

We're going to talk about Fred Hampton and then we're going to see where the conversation

goes.

So for people who might not be fully aware of you and your project, can you sort of introduce

yourself and introduce Deep Into History and give people a little idea about what it is

you do?

Absolutely.

First of all, thank you so much for having me on, Fred.

I've been a huge fan for a very, very long time, so it's an absolute honor to be here.

Thank you.

I host the podcast Deep Into History.

I create historically accurate narratives and synthesize them into classic tales that

are akin to fairy tales, but are all fact so that history becomes accessible.
