bLACK, chicago teachers' union toasts the life of Joanne Chesimard
“(Breitbart) the leftist chicago teachers union is honoring the life of a woman convicted of killing a police officer in the 1970s.
“in a social media post on friday, the union shared an image of Assata Shakur, who was born as Joanne Deborah Chesimard, calling her a 'revolutionary fighter.”
“rest in power, rest in peace, Assata Shakur. today we honor the life and legacy of a revolutionary fighter, a fierce writer, a revered elder of black liberation, and a leader of freedom whose spirit continues to live in our struggle,” the organization said.
“'Assata refused to be silenced. she taught us that ‘it is our duty to fight for our freedom. it is our duty to win. we must love each other and support each other. we have nothing to lose but our chains,' the post reads.”
GRA: That's why she fled to cuba.

You know, if only the Federal Reserve could have brought about healing to Assata Shakur's oppressive world a half century ago, we might be spared today's tragic headlines such as the following.
News Item: With unemployment among American Black women outpacing the national rate, U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley called on the nation’s central bank to do everything it can to arrest that trend.
Still waitin' on muh dealer to deliver some poetic muse substance (he keep wantin' money like now!) so the elegy to Queen Assata is gonna be late and so is the night.
But meanwhile to clear up the confusion: (Spoiler Alert) She wasn't Tupac's mom, she was his godmother.
Details at The Root, Was The Late Assata Shakur 2Pac’s Mom? A Professor Has Answers. The name Shakur originates from the Arabic word “shukr,” meaning “thankful” or “grateful.” And it was not just the last name of Tupac, Afeni and Assata, but also Lumumba, who was mentioned above, and Mutulu.
So there. Befo' you be gettin' into fights on a Carnival Cruise over this.
Name change from Fat-ass-a Shakur,I'm guessing.
