The Ben Joravsky Show show

Summary: As I write this sentence, it was 54 years ago to the day that the Chicago police. acting in concert with the State’s Attorney and the FBI, killed Fred Hampton and Mark Clark as they were sleeping in their beds. That was December 4, 1969. Flint Taylor was a young lawyer when he went to court on behalf of Fred Hampton's survivors. He tells the story from A to Z, including the post-murder collusion by feds and local prosecutors to cover up the crime.
