Biography
Carl Hampton is named as a United Front photographer arrested in Cairo on August 15, 1970 after being physically accosted by white people. No charge is specified for this arrest. This photographer is distinct from the Houston People’s Party II leader Carl Hampton, who had already been killed on July 26, 1970. The United Front of Cairo chronology presents these prosecutions as part of racist repression of Black community organizing. This is the defense publication’s account; it does not establish an individual final discharge or a complete custody duration.
