*Basher Hameed was instrumental in putting the Black Panther Party on the map in New Jersey. A son of Linden, NJ, he travelled up and down the state seeking recruits and developing chapters and squads. He was deputy chair for the Jersey City chapter. His work and commitment put him in the crosshairs of the COINTELPRO attacks against the Black Liberation Movement as did many. It forced him to go underground for years. In 1981, he was captured and charged, along with another Panther comrade, Abdul Majid, with the killing of a Queens police officer. Hence they became known as ‘The Queens 2.’ It took three trials to secure a conviction of these warriors who each given 25 years to life…Basher passed on August 30th from pancreatic cancer while wrongly being incarcerated for well over 20 years. Abdul Majid is still in a NY state prison…
When a giant falls, his people should rise!!!
"We must continue to move forward and do everything we can to outlaw legal lynching in America. We must continue to stand together in unity and to demand a moratorium on all executions. You must stay strong. You must continue to hold your heads up, and to be there. We will prevail. Keep marching Black people. They are killing me tonight. They are murdering me tonight." -- Excerpts of Last Words of Bro. Shaka Sankofa, an innocent man executed by the state of Texas, 6/22/00. www.myspace.com/nattyreb7
