| Info | William Leo "Bill" Epton Jr. (January 17, 1932, New York City–February 3, 2002), was a Maoist African-American communist activist. He was Vice Chairman of the Progressive Labor Party until approximately 1970, and chairman of its Harlem branch until that position went null upon Epton's incarceration for incitement to violence in 1964.
Epton was "the first person convicted of criminal anarchy since the Red Scare of 1919" — reportedly for a crime of three words: "Burn, baby, burn."
