Facebook post from Kakuya Shakur, Assata Shakur's daughter who was born in prison:

At approximately 1:15 PM on September 25th, my mother, Assata Shakur, took her last earthly breath. Words cannot describe the depth of loss that I am feeling at this time. I want to thank you for your loving prayers that continue to anchor me in the strength that I need in this moment. My spirit is overflowing in unison with all of you who are grieving with me at this time.

Sending much love and appreciation to you all,

Kakuya Shakur

Earlier this year, as they do every year since 1979, the state of New Jersey posted a $2M bounty on Assata Shakur's head as their most wanted person.

The US continues to this day to jail several elderly and dying Black Liberation activists of Assata's generation, she was one of the free living heroes of that era and I'm glad she got to experience freedom (albeit outside of America) for most of it.

Remember the time that we found out #Cointelpro was real and that the feds and Chicago PD murdered #FredHampton?

Remembering is an act of resistance.
