Anyways, the night before it [the first breakfast program in Chicago] was supposed to open, the Chicago police broke into the church where we had the food and mashed up all the food and urinated on it. So we had to&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

But what that caused was just all kinds of attention, and people were just lining up to give us donations.&amp;lt;Ref&gt; Nik Heynen (2009) Bending the Bars of Empire from Every Ghetto for Survival: The Black Panther Party's Radical Antihunger Politics of Social Reproduction and Scale, Annals of the Association of American Geographers, 99:2, 406-422, DOI: 10.1080/00045600802683767 &amp;lt;/Ref&gt;&amp;lt;/Blockquote&gt;&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

They shot and killed Mark Clark, who was on guard at the time. As Mark Clark was dying he fired one shot at the police, and this was the only shot fired from the Black Panther Party, while police fired fully automatic weapons at the apartment. One of the bullets hit Fred Hampton in the shoulder, and he was then killed, while asleep, after officers entered his bedroom and shot him point blank in the head, assassinating him; Hampton's girlfriend survived. Hampton was asleep during the assassination, because an FBI informant drugged him with secobarbital.&amp;lt;Ref&gt;↑ Nik Heynen (2009) Bending the Bars of Empire from Every Ghetto for Survival: The Black Panther Party's Radical Antihunger Politics of Social Reproduction and Scale, Annals of the Association of American Geographers, 99:2, 406-422, DOI: 10.1080/00045600802683767 &amp;lt;/Ref&gt; &amp;lt;br&gt; &amp;lt;br&gt; &amp;lt;blockquote&gt; The attention the murder of Hampton and Clark brought, especially because of Hampton’s visibility around the Breakfast Program, helped to marshal increased grassroots support among African American radicals but also liberal whites. The program became a vehicle, therefore, not only for providing sustenance to children but also as a cause around which to organize the space of the black community in particularly scaled ways.&amp;lt;Ref&gt; Nik Heynen (2009) Bending the Bars of Empire from Every Ghetto for Survival: The Black Panther Party's Radical Antihunger Politics of Social Reproduction and Scale, Annals of the Association of American Geographers, 99:2, 406-422, DOI: 10.1080/00045600802683767&amp;lt;/Ref&gt;&amp;lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
