REMEMBERING TUPAC SHAKUR
This September we will remember the death of highly influential rap icon, son of political activist and Black Panther Afeni Shakur, and rebel with a cause to articulate the travails and injustices endured by many African Americans in the 90’s, Tupac Shakur, who was shot and killed in 1996 at the young age of 25.
Apart from his indelible impact of rap music, (pop) culture and society, Shakur left us with a number of charismatic acting performances, two of which (his debut in Juice and his thoughtful performance in Poetic Justice alongside Janet Jackson) we’ll screen to remember his sensitive, precociously talented and ultimately troubled soul.
