[Frameworks] US civil rights related films?

[Warren Cockerham]

*The Murder of Fred Hampton* (1971).. By Howard Alk and Mike Gray of The
Film Group Inc. -- an often forgotten or unknown assassination of a 21-year
old Human Rights leader orchestrated by J. Edgar Hoover, the FBI's
Cointelpro program and the Chicago Police. Available on video at Facets. If
you're looking for film prints, the Chicago Film Archives preserved the
Film Group Inc's *Cicero March *(1968) a few years ago. A piece documenting
Dr. King's unsuccessful peace March from Chicago's North Lawndale
neighborhood (mostly black residents) into Cicero (nearly all Italian at
the time). This piece is also on Facets' DVD release of *The Murder of Fred
Hampton *(1971)...
