Summary
Joining us to discuss the new movie “Judas and the Black Messiah" are Afro-American studies professor Dr. Toussaint Losier and Bradley Greene, a Chicago Black Panther. Greene tells us what life was like in the BPP, his relationship Fred Hampton, why the police were set on killing him, and several important aspects of the movie he thinks were really wrong. We also talk about the struggle today, and what our generation can learn from the Party and the attacks against it.
