RIP 2Pac Godmother
Assata Shakur, the godmother of hip hop legend Tupac Shakur and black rights activist, has passed away.

Shakur died in Cuba, where she’s lived since escaping from a US prison in 1979.

Shakur joined the Black Liberation Army (BLA) in the 1970s, an offshoot whose members were inspired by the Vietcong and the Algerian independence fighters of the Battle of Algiers.

In 1977, she was convicted of the first-degree murder of New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster during a shootout on the New Jersey Turnpike in 1973.

While serving her sentence at the Clinton Correctional Facility for Women in New Jersey, Shakur escaped in 1979 with the assistance of members of the BLA and the May 19th Communist Organization. She was granted political asylum in Cuba in 1984, where she resided for the remainder of her life despite ongoing efforts by the U.S.
