National People's Democratic Uhuru Movement

" Fred Hampton, Jr. led the Chicago NPDUM Branch with the political goal to expose and defeat the U.S. counterinsurgency (war) on the African community and continue the struggle for African community control and self-determination where his father and the Black Panther Party left off."

In 1990 Fred Hampton, Jr. became President of the National People's Democratic Uhuru Movement, an organization founded by Omali Yeshitela to defend the democratic rights of the African community. Fred Hampton, Jr. is no longer involved with NPDUM, which is now known as the International People's Democratic Uhuru Movement, but is very proud of his days of work with the organization and sites founder Omali Yeshitela as an important inspiration for him.

What Is the NPDUM?

"a grassroots organization led by the black working-class community."

The NPDUM became the International People's Democratic Uhuru Movement (InPDUM) in 1991, one year after Fred Hampton, Jr. served as NPDUN president. The organization is, as their website explains, open to "anyone united with democracy for the African community" and who believes "self-determination is the highest expression of democracy." Members of The Uhuru Movement are guided by the principe that "political and economic development-not police crackdowns-will bring peace to African American neighborhoods." (Wikipedia)
