People forget that in the 1970s in the north east, some schools had the last of governmentally funded activities.

And the USA has continually asked Cuba to let them take Assata Shakur from in Cuba. And Assata Shakur still has a warrant for her.

yes, Billy Holiday

Tupac is a real life example of a child growing up in an environment like :Night Catches Us
Black kids growing up in Black Panther homes in Black communities in the 1970s is a huge dichotomy. The Black Panthers had great successes but were hammered all the time by white organizations , governmentally or private. In the 1970s at their first phases end, the black community in the majority is being abused and attacked , from drugs being put in black communities bu law enforcement agencies which are proxies for white communal wealth. All this creates a complex environment.

25:15 
Did they ever find out who killed Tupac? 
27:13 
Selena was pregnant, I didn't know that.

Interesting that Tupac's family did trust someone who had a relatively negative relationship or distant relationship with Tupac.

Nike, I thought about what you said about the Aretha Franklin biopic.
 

 

Like much of Tupac's work......his lyrical and entertainment genius came with a price.
An interesting mix of productive and destructive content.

Yes.
I voted near bottom.

I don't consider Tupac much of a Revolutionary.
A talented Rap Artist...yes.  
But not a Revolutionary.
