Hi my name is caused by a leak and this
- 00:03 - 00:05
is my presentation on the history in film of Julius
- 00:06 - 00:06
in the black messiah.
- 00:08 - 00:11
My thesis, the movie depicts the legacy of the black
- 00:11 - 00:14
panther party by highlighting one of the infamous and lethal
- 00:14 - 00:18
conflicts amongst them and the FBI um the black printer,
- 00:19 - 00:22
The black panthers and the FBI had an ongoing um
- 00:23 - 00:27
legal conflict since the party was founded up until it
- 00:27 - 00:32
ended. The film is historical drama directed by Shaka King
- 00:33 - 00:36
about the tragic death of fred Hampton at the hands
- 00:36 - 00:40
of a treasurer's FBI informant William O'Neil as he worked
- 00:40 - 00:43
with um FBI Roy Mitchell.
- 00:45 - 00:51
Um The whole movie is about dis mentally, it's it's
- 00:52 - 00:55
all about dis mentioning the back printed party, but it's
- 00:55 - 01:01
specifically about um getting rid of getting rid of their
- 01:01 - 01:05
leader fred Hampton in order to dismiss the black panther
- 01:06 - 01:09
party. The party was nothing without a courageous leader to
- 01:09 - 01:12
lead them in the right direction and keep things in
- 01:12 - 01:15
order. Um the background of party was founded in 1966
- 01:17 - 01:23
to protect black people in minority communities against police brutality,
- 01:24 - 01:31
poverty. Um It was too prevent oppression or to fight
- 01:31 - 01:32
against oppression.
- 01:33 - 01:41
Okay. Um the film is mhm.
- 01:42 - 01:47
Director Shaka King's interpretation of the historical conflict between fred
- 01:48 - 01:53
Hampton, who is played by Lucky Stanfield and Dan Incluye,
- 01:54 - 01:57
who's by who plays fred Hampton.
- 02:00 - 02:05
Um He uses history or he's film to display history
- 02:06 - 02:11
of the black panther party in one of the tragic
- 02:12 - 02:14
murder of one of the chapters.
- 02:15 - 02:22
Um the Chicago chapter's leader history discourse.
- 02:23 - 02:28
Um The film put the film's portrayal of history through
- 02:28 - 02:30
several attempts to dismantle the black panther party, the FBI
- 02:31 - 02:33
targeted members in their courageous leaders.
- 02:35 - 02:39
Um Some of these attempts include um unnecessary raids, which
- 02:39 - 02:43
is ultimately that that was how the film ended with
- 02:43 - 02:47
a raid in that concluded with fred Hampton.
- 02:48 - 02:57
Still other things include um police brutality, unnecessary arrest and
- 02:58 - 02:59
things of that sort.
- 03:00 - 03:03
Some evidence of this includes um in the movie FBI.
- 03:03 - 03:04
Director J.
- 03:05 - 03:12
Edgar Hoover strongly expresses um that that he feels that
- 03:13 - 03:17
the black panther party was one of the greatest national
- 03:18 - 03:23
threats. Um and that was how the conflict between the
- 03:23 - 03:26
party and the FBI began as the F.
- 03:26 - 03:27
B. I.
- 03:27 - 03:28
Felt that they were very threatening.
- 03:29 - 03:35
Um He says things like um get him off the
- 03:35 - 03:39
street referring to fred Hampton which that led to one
- 03:39 - 03:42
of his arrest and when he was gonna be arrested
- 03:43 - 03:47
again, he stated that that would only make him famous.
- 03:47 - 03:53
Like it did like Huey P.
- 03:54 - 04:03
Newton. Other evidence includes um that's conveyed in the film,
- 04:03 - 04:06
government officials viewed the black panther party as a murderous
- 04:06 - 04:09
gang of cop heading thugs who managed to dupe the
- 04:09 - 04:13
white lift into following them down a path of destructive
- 04:13 - 04:18
violence in revolutionary theater in the film.
- 04:20 - 04:23
Um Hampton is going to team up with other revolutionary
- 04:24 - 04:33
groups, Hispanics and um caucasian groups, revolutionary groups, and that's
- 04:33 - 04:36
going to make his power stronger and make him more
- 04:37 - 04:38
threatening leading to his death.
- 04:42 - 04:46
Um in conclusion, the legacy of the black panther Party
- 04:46 - 04:48
can never be told without, including the hostile climate in
- 04:49 - 04:51
which they fall and the legal conflict with the government.
- 04:52 - 04:55
For as long as the party was active, the FBI
- 04:55 - 04:58
was always fighting against them to dismantle it.
- 04:59 - 05:01
The family doesn't include that.
- 05:02 - 05:10
Um William O'Neil continues as FBI um informant continues to
- 05:10 - 05:11
work with black panthers.
- 05:12 - 05:16
Um it also doesn't include that the Black Panthers continue
- 05:16 - 05:25
to fight until 1986 and then there's my work started
- 05:26 - 05:28
to page and that is all.
- 05:29 - 05:29
Thank you.
