RIP Assata Shakur
(www.whatimreading.net)
She died a free woman. Rest in power.
RIP to one of the real ones that the feds never managed to get
RIP to a real legend
I'm so deeply sorry to her that we couldn't liberate this cursed country in her lifetime so she would've been safe to return home, even if only to see family
All we can do is try to carry her legacy
Seriously read her autobiography of you haven't, genuinely a great book on top of being theory
Rest well - Ms. Shakur - at least you meet with yer similarly revolutionary son 
Sorry my man, but Tupac's mom was Afeni Shakur, if that's who you're thinking of. She passed away back in 2016.
Still tho salute 
I don't think she had any sons. Who are you talking about?
e: Do you mean Tupac? They aren't related, dawg.
Fudge, I confused her with Afeni, mother of Tupac Shakur
friend of Afeni Shakur and Mutulu Shakur and often described as their son Tupac Shakur's "godmother" or "step-aunt"[2]
I stand (semi-)corrected.
Now I know! Unrelated by blood, but family nonetheless.
last of the real ones
Heroes never die
RIP
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
She beat the feds and they will never stop seething because of it.
A recent example of such seething:
In a civil complaint filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court, the officers claim they were "forced to physically pass and confront the mural" on Hamilton Avenue each time they entered the department. At issue were elements they consider to be offensive and discriminatory, including a portrait of Black Liberation Army member and FBI fugitive, Joanne Chesimard, also known as Assata Shakur, who was convicted of killing a police officer in 1973. She eventually escaped from prison and fled to Cuba.
Rest in power. She died free. She's gone now, but her legacy is immortal.
Revolutionaries don't die, they merely become part of history
We can only strive to cultivate and sprout the seeds of the trees she helped plant so that we all might rest under their shade. Rest in power, Assata Shakur.
