Summary:
For over fifty years, the Shakurs have inspired generations of activists, scholars, and music fans. Whether founding one of the most notorious Black Panther chapters in the country, spearheading community-based healthcare, or engaging in armed struggle with systemic oppression, the Shakurs were at the forefront. Holley provides a true and complete story of the Shakur family through a history of the fight for Black liberation in the United States-- as experienced and shaped by the Shakurs. It is the story of a small but determined community, taking extreme, unconventional, and often perilous measures in the quest for freedom. -- adapted from jacket
