Fred Hampton was an African-American activist and a member of the Black Panther Party. The Assassination of Fred Hampton is attorney Jeff Haas's personal account of the eighteen-month trial in which he and People's Law Office partner Flint Taylor pursued Hampton's assassins, ultimately prevailing over FBI stonewalling and unlimited government resources bent on hiding the conspiracy that led to Hampton's death. The book not only tells the story of justice delivered but also puts Hampton in a new light as a dynamic community leader whose dedication to his people and to truth telling inspired the young lawyers of the People's Law Office, solidifying their lifelong commitment to fighting injustice.

Jeffrey Haas is a Santa Fe attorney, and will be here to discuss and sign his book November 15 at 3pm.
