Eyes on the prize. A nation of law?, 1968-1971 America at the racial crossroads
By the late 1960's, the anger in the poorer urban areas over charges of police brutality was smoldering. In Chicago, Fred Hampton formed a Black Panther Party chapter, at a time when police surveillance of movement activists was increasing. During this same period, inmates at New York's Attica prison took over the prison in an effort to publicize intolerable conditions.

"Increasing Black activism is met with a violent and sometimes unethical response from local and federal law enforcement agencies. Clashes with the Black Panthers, and the Attica prison riots which resulted in 43 deaths, aggravate already strained relations."@en
"By the late 1960s, the anger in poorer urban areas over charges of police brutality was smoldering. In Chicago, Fred Hampton formed a Black Panther Party chapter. In response, FBI director, J. Edgar Hoover increased police surveillance by planting an informant who became Hampton's personal bodyguard. Using inside information, the police raided Hampton's apartment, killing him and Mark Clark, another Panther leader. During the same period, inmates at New York's Attica Prison took over the prison in an effort to publicize intolerable conditions there."
