*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 30^th 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!!!
