Afeni Shakur, a political activist, Black Panther, Tupac’s mother and the inspiration behind his song “Dear Mama”, would have been 70 years old today. Sadly she passed away May 6, 2016.
Even though a lot of people only found out about Afeni Shakur through the ballad “Dear Mama”, she will be remembered for much more. She joined the Black Panther Party as a teen in 1968. A large part of her fight and legacy was in letting people know how they could use their constitutional rights.
You will be remembered forever, Afeni. Happy birthday and rest in peace.
