July 26, 2009, thirty-nine years to the day of the murder/assassination of People s Party II Chairman (which evolved into the Houston chapter of the Black Panther BPP) Carl B. Hampton was commemorated in the heart of the community. He was shot to death by a Houston Police Department (HPD) sniper from the rooftop of the St. John Church . Some call it the Dowling street showdown. We call it what it was: a Gestapo like occupation of the Black Community and the political assassination of a servant of the people. Who serves a warrant from the rooftop of a church with high-powered, telescopic rifles? It gripped the entire city for over a week and culminated in the vicious murder by HPD of a young articulate freedom fighter. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;line-height:150%'><span style='color:black'>&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;line-height:150%'><span style='color:black'>To show our respect, Brother Hampton was honored with multiple memorial activities. Despite the sweltering heat, both young and elder alike made the pilgrimage to the gravesite remembrance in solemn reverence for a warrior who sacrificed his life on behalf of the people.&nbsp; A wicker chair adorned with a black leather jacket, powder blue shirt, spear, carbine rifle and a black beret captured the mood at the site. Accompanied by an eternal flame and a flowered wreath with Carl s picture delicately arranged to exemplify the proper respect for a fallen comrade. We give a special  Thank You to Dr. James Conyers (African American Studies U of H) for providing us with the  Libation Ceremony. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;line-height:150%'><span style='color:black'>&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;line-height:150%'><span style='color:black'>&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;line-height:150%'><span style='color:black'>&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;line-height:150%'><span style='color:black'>&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;line-height:150%'><span style='color:black'>Later in the evening the memorial activities shifted to Dowling street .&nbsp; In an open grass &nbsp;area next to Reverend Ray Martin s Progressive Amateur Boxing Association (PABA) a large gathering of people of different backgrounds came to pay homage to Brother Carl Hampton.&nbsp; Over twenty different organizational representatives, poets, dancers, community activist, City Council member, the Houston Black Fire Fighters Association and living BPP alumni spoke about Carl Hampton and educated the people about&nbsp; programs they had to offer to strengthen the community.&nbsp; Ice cold water and 50 free bags of fresh fruit and vegetables were distributed to families in need in the tradition of the Black Panther Party survival programs.&nbsp; The point was made repeatedly that as a result of the cointelpro attack on the Black/Afrikan Liberation Movement in general and specifically the Black Panther Party there remained&nbsp;many political prisoners and prisoners of war that deserve our undying support. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;line-height:150%'><span style='color:black'>&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:150%'><span style='color:black'><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shape id="MA2.1249239500" o:spid="_x0000_i1026" type="#_x0000_t75" alt="" style='width:364.5pt; height:203.25pt'> <v:imagedata src="Outpouring_of_Support_For_Slain_Houston_Black_Panther_files/image002.jpg" o:href="cid:1066.4620@web009.roc2.bluetie.com"/> </v:shape><![endif]--><![if !vml]><img border=0 width=486 height=271 src="Outpouring_of_Support_For_Slain_Houston_Black_Panther_files/image002.jpg" v:shapes="MA2.1249239500"><![endif]><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:150%'><strong><span style='color:black'>Participants gather at the exact location where Carl Hampton was murdered by HPD sniper bullets.</span></strong><span style='color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;line-height:150%'><span style='color:black'>&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;line-height:150%'><span style='color:black'>&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;line-height:150%'><span style='color:black'>&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;line-height:150%'><span style='color:black'>Well into the evening, most of the people were still eager to take the three-block trek to the actual site of Carl Hampton s assassination. Activist and tour guide Ester King stated  We were able to get facts from people who were actually here 39 years ago; it is gratifying to see so many young people getting educated about this Houston revolutionary .&nbsp; The Carl Hampton Memorial Committee is a collective of community organizations that came together to plan the activities.&nbsp; We are compelled to thank the collective efforts of all who united to bring this historical moment to the Houston&nbsp; community. We would also take this opportunity to honor Brother Charles  Boko Freeman (BPP Alumni) who traveled from Atlanta Georgia to pay homage and remind us to never let his fallen comrade s assassination be forgotten in the city of Houston . We must also honor and salute the hard work and many sacrifices of Brother Kenya Shabazz (People s Party III).&nbsp; The Memorial Committee will continue to work in the spirit of  Circulate to Educate-Educate to Liberate as we prepare and organize for an even larger set of activities in 2010 for the 40<sup>th</sup> anniversary.&nbsp; We may be contacted at 713-529-4254. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;line-height:150%'><span style='color:black'>&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;line-height:150%'><i><span style='color:black'>Committee Members Include: Black Panther Party Alumni, People s Party III, Sankofa Community Empowerment Organization, The Death Penalty Abolition Movement ,Progressive Amateur Boxing Association (PABA), The National Black United Front- Houston Chapter (NBUF), New Panther Vanguard Movement</span></i><span style='color:navy'>, </span><span style='color:black'>and <i>The Station Museum</i>. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:150%'><span style='color:black'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:150%'><span style='color:black'>Aluta Continua  The Struggle Continues <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;line-height:150%'><span style='color:black'>&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></span></p> <div id=a4c70134d272d57426aa4ac0420f6f3c> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:black'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <div class=MsoNormal align=center style='margin-top:7.5pt;text-align:center'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'> <hr size=2 width="100%" align=center> </span></div> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:7.5pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p> </div> </td> </tr> </table> <div class=MsoNormal align=center style='margin-top:11.25pt;text-align:center'> <hr size=2 width="100%" align=center style='border-top:grey'> </div> <table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=500 style='width:375.0pt;mso-cellspacing:0in;mso-yfti-tbllook:1184;mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 0in 0in;cursor:pointer' height=58 cellborder=0> <tr style='mso-yfti-irow:0;mso-yfti-firstrow:yes'> <td style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'> <table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 style='mso-cellspacing:0in;mso-yfti-tbllook:1184;mso-padding-alt:0in 0in 0in 0in' cellborder=0> <tr style='mso-yfti-irow:0;mso-yfti-firstrow:yes'> <td rowspan=3 style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'> <p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></p> </td> <td style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'> <p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://216.21.215.31/fc/FgElN1mH1bzIk03VLZG3C3ra3TrjbtgSykn4YnU6zhJNcnuX3Gifzy5bhwk/" target="_blank" style='cursor:pointer'><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:green'>Legal Advice</span></a><o:p></o:p></p> </td> </tr> <tr style='mso-yfti-irow:1'> <td style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'> <p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://216.21.215.31/fc/FgElN1mH1bzIk03VLZG3C3ra3TrjbtgSykn4YnU6zhJNcnuX3Gifzy5bhwk/" target="_blank" style='cursor:pointer'><span style='font-size:8.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black;text-decoration:none; text-underline:none'>Law Problems?
