Who are the real terrorists? ed.)
From Domingo Estevez on Facebook:
Was in Newark today and came across this. ASSATA SHAKUR is the step-aunt of Tupac and is also a women who dedicated her life in the U.S. to the betterment of her people as well as seeking justice and freedom. Remember the beauty of life is that it is bigger then all of us and together we could make the changes we want to see in the world. I stand with ASSATA, a BMCC graduate #HANDSOFASSATA. TELLING THE TRUTH IS NOT A CRIME. FIGHTING FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE IS NOT A CRIME. FIGHTING AGAINST RACISM IS NOT A CRIME. If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything" HOW WILL YOU BE REMEMBERED ? -- Freedom Archives 522 Valencia Street San Francisco, CA 94110 415 863.9977 www.freedomarchives.org ------------------- DREAD TIMES - Dedicated to the free flow of information - http://www.dreadtimes.com | ||
