Assata Shakur (1947 – ) Political Activist, Author & former Black Panther Party Member

"It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love and protect one another. We have nothing to lose but our chains." Since the 1960's, Assata Olugbala Shakur has been fighting for the liberation of the racially oppressed. Ironically, it is the same oppression that has caused her to become the first female ever to be added to the FBI's America's Most Wanted Terrorist List.  Political activist, former member of the Black Panther Party and Black Liberation Army, and step-aunt to slane hip-hop artist Tupac Shakur,  her story is deeply cloaked in the struggle for systemic change.
