“Black Revolutionaries do not drop from the moon. We are created by our conditions, shaped by our oppression. I am a Revolutionary. By that I mean that I have declared war on all forces that have raped our women, castrated our men and kept our babies empty-bellied.” Assata Shakur
Today, as we look at the Hollywood depiction and portrayal of strong African women (non-fiction and fiction) we must always take the time to honor our sisters that have given us examples of leadership, commitment and sacrifice. Thousands of Black girls will see the Black Panther movie Wakanda Forever and The Woman King, which highlights the majesty and tenacity of the Black Woman. These same young sisters must also learn and study the life and times of a current African warrior of today. Her name is Assata Shakur!
As Assata continued to evolve, she would find herself working to educate Black children and teaching them the essential lessons of pride, dignity and the love of self. This is one aspect of our struggle that simply; does not occur any longer.
Today, in the Black community, there is no volunteering! If there is no pay or compensation involved, African people will not engage in any programs to uplift the youth. We have become a very selfish, self-centered people.
