Description
Photograph of the apartment of Fred Hampton, after the raid where he was killed by members of the Chicago Police Department. Photo shows large amount of blood on the bed that he was lying in when he was initially shot, and numerous bullet holes in the walls of the room.
(1) The work has significant educational and public value, and will be used for non-profit educational purposes. This image is of extreme historical significance. (2) Putting it on Wikipedia would not interfere with commercial opportunities, since the image is already posted up all over the Internet, as one can see from a Google image search.
The inclusion of the image would significantly increase reader's understanding of the subject, illustrating for example that he was shot while lying in bed, and they can see the large number of bullet holes in the walls of the room, demonstrating the large volume of gunfire that took place during the raid.
There are no free images that are even close to equivalent. This is the only photo of the murder scene.
