July 16, 1947: Happy birthday, Comrade Assata Shakur

Thank you to revolutionary Cuba for providing a safe haven for our sister. When some so-called progressives echo the “SOS Cuba” contras, they are saying they support handing Assata over to the modern day slave catchers of the FBI and New Jersey cops.

-------------

‘My name is Assata (“she who struggles”) Olugbala ( “for the people” ) Shakur (“the thankful one”), and I am a 20th century escaped slave.

'Because of government persecution, I was left with no other choice than to flee from the political repression, racism and violence that dominate the US government’s policy towards people of color. I am an ex political prisoner, and I have been living in exile in Cuba since 1984.

'I have been a political activist most of my life, and although the U.S. government has done everything in its power to criminalize me, I am not a criminal, nor have I ever been one.

'In the 1960s, I participated in various struggles: the black liberation movement, the student rights movement, and the movement to end the war in Vietnam. I joined the Black Panther Party.

'By 1969 the Black Panther Party had become the number one organization targeted by the FBI’s COINTELPRO program. because the Black Panther Party demanded the total liberation of black people, J. Edgar Hoover called it “greatest threat to the internal security of the country” and vowed to destroy it and its leaders and activists.’

To date that has been one of the most audacious and courageous acts of self-determination exhibited by our movement. The work to free remaining political prisoners and to keep Assata safe and free continues. ____________________ Via @democracynow www.democracynow.org: Listen to Assata Shakur in Her Own Words (1998) ... Shakur reading an open letter she wrote to Pope John Paul II during his trip to Cuba in 1998 after the FBI asked him to urge her extradition. “As a result of being targeted by [the FBI program] COINTELPRO, I was faced with the threat of prison, underground, exile or death,” Shakur said at the time. “I am not the first, nor the last, person to be victimized by the New Jersey system of 'justice.'

Nana Assata Sakur on Revolution @Regranned from @august_third_collective_napla - @haki_kweli_shakur #SelfDetermination “ I imagined everything from cities called Malcolmville and New Lumumba to a reception for revolutionary leaders around the world at the Black House. I liked the idea of a Black Nation. My mind spaced out on the idea and in a minute I was imagining Red, Black, and Green buses 🚌 , Apartment Buildings with African motifs , Black Television 📺 Shows And Movies 🎥 that reflected the real quality of Black Life rather than the real quality of white racism! “ - Assata #AssataShakur #HandsoffAssata #newafrikans #puertoricans #mexicans #hawaiians #westpapua #kurdistan #catalonian #biafra #catalonia #kurdish #NewYork #NewJersey #Delaware #Detroit #Milwaukee #Baltimore #WashingtonDC #Atlanta #Houston #lasvegas #sovereignty #plebiscite #referendum #newafrikan77wordpress #eminem #thestruggleizforlandleearango123 #repost @leearango123 (@get_repost ) (at West Kendall)

How did you arrive in Cuba? Well, I couldn’t, you know, just write a letter and say “Dear Fidel, I’d like to come to your country.” So I had to hoof it-come and wait for the Cubans to respond. Luckily, they had some idea who I was, they’d seen some of the briefs and UN petitions from when I was a political prisoner. So they were somewhat familiar with my case and they gave me the status of being a political refugee. That means I am here in exile as a political person. How did you feel when you got here? I was really overwhelmed. Even though I considered myself a socialist, I had these insane, silly notions about Cuba. I mean, I grew up in the 1950s when little kids were hiding under their desks, because “the communists were coming.” So even though I was very supportive of the revolution, I expected everyone to go around in green fatigues looking like Fidel, speaking in a very stereotypical way, “the revolution must continue, Companero. Let us, triumph, Comrade.” When I got here people were just people, doing what they had where I came from. It’s a country with a strong sense of community. Unlike the U.S., folks aren’t as isolated. People are really into other people. Also, I didn’t know there were all these black people here and that there was this whole Afro-Cuban culture. My image of Cuba was Che Guevara and Fidel Castro, I hadn’t heard of Antonio Maceo [a hero of the Cuban war of independence] and other Africans who had played a role in Cuban history. The lack of brand names and consumerism also really hit me. You go into a store and there would be a bag of “rice.” It undermined what I had taken for granted in the absurd zone where people are like, “Hey, I only eat uncle so and so’s brand of rice.”
