How did Tupac influence people to become social justice advocates?

He influenced people to become social justice advocates through his music.  Most of his songs and poems were about the struggles of being black in America. Also he used his music to talk about issues in society. He really helped grow the awareness of harassment against black people  and the killings of black people at the time with his unforgettable music, speeches, and poems, and I believe he does that to this day in spirit.

Lesane Parish Crook later legally changed to Tupac Amaru Shakur was an american rapper and actor.He was born on June 16,1971 and died on September 13,1996 (age 25) with 13 gunshot wounds. Tupac began his music career as a rebel with a cause to articulate the travails and injustices endured by many African-Americans. This skill of his doing so made him a spokesperson not just for his own generation but for subsequent ones who continue to face the same struggle for equality. In life, his biggest battle was sometimes with himself. He sold 75 million albums worldwide and after his death in 2017 he was inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame.
