Happy birthday to the late Afeni Shakur. A political activist, Black Panther, philanthropist and Mother to the Late Tupac Shakur.

—Afeni Shakur was a businesswoman, philanthropist, political activist and former Black Panther.

She was also the mother of the late rapper Tupac Shakur. Assata Shakur was her sister-in-law.

PANTHER 21:
In April 1969, she and 20 other Black Panthers were arrested and charged with 150 charges of "Conspiracy against the United States government and New York landmarks".

TRIAL:
Shakur chose to represent herself in court, pregnant while on trial and facing a 300-year prison sentence and had not attended law school. Shakur interviewed witnesses and argued in court.

One of the people Shakur cross-examined was Ralph White, one of the three suspects that actually was an undercover agent.

White was someone whom she had suspected all along of being a cop, since he had been inciting others to violence. She got White to admit under oath that he and the other two agents had organized most of the unlawful activities. She also got White to admit to the court that the activism that they had done together was "powerful, inspiring, and ... beautiful".

Shakur asked Mr. White if he had misrepresented the Panthers to his police bosses. He said "Yes". She asked if he had betrayed the community. He said "Yes."

VERDICT:
She and the others in the "Panther 21" were acquitted in May 1971 after an 8-month trial.

Altogether, Afeni Shakur spent 2 years in jail before being acquitted.

Tupac was born a month later.

May 2, 2016: Afeni Shakur died of a heart attack in Sausalito, California.

N*gro please. We don't care what you have to say, Black Americans will no longer be a mule for other groups especially foreigners. If you want to protect Israel so much, enlist in their military and go put YOUR life on the line. Otherwise shut the f*ck up.
