During our visit to Denver we caught up with one of our favorite freedom fighters, Chairman Fred Hampton Jr from the POCC (Prisoners of Conscience Committee). We caught him at the tail end of Sunday's Recreate 68 Anti-War March where Fred explained the concerns we need to have about relying upon our two party system which does not address key issues impacting bthe African American community.
