Black Faith Rising

We are saddened to report that Assata Shakur, revolutionary, activist, and author, has passed away.

Born JoAnne Chesimard, she rose as a leading member of the Black Panther Party and the Black Liberation Army, fighting for justice and freedom.

A political exile in Cuba since 1984, her life embodied resistance, resilience, and the unyielding pursuit of liberation. Her legacy lives on in the generations she inspired to stand tall in the face of oppression.

The best way to honor here is with a quote we all should by:
“It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.”

Rest in power, Assata.
