Slate Stone Music: #PhenomWire Dr. Mutulu Shakur is a New Afrikan (Black) man whose primary work has been in the area of health. He is a doctor of acupuncture and was a co-founder and director of two institutions devoted to improving health care in the Black Community. At age seven he moved to Jamaica, Queens, New York City with his mother and younger sister. Shakur’s political and social consciousness began to develop early in his life. His mother suffered not only from being Black and female, but was also blind. These elements constituted Shakur’s first confrontation with the state, while assisting his mother to negotiate through the maze that made up the social service system. Through this experience, Shakur learned that the system did not operate in the interests of Black people and that Black people must control the institutions that affect their lives.(( U.S. Truth and Reconciliation Commission)) #MutuluShakur (born Jeral Wayne Williams, August 8, 1950) is an African nationalist and acupuncturist. He was a proponent of the Republic of New Afrika and a close friend of Geronimo Pratt. Shakur is best known for his conviction on racketeering charges following the 1979 prison escape of Joanne Chesimard (Assata Shakur) and the infamous $1.6 million robbery of a Brinks armored truck in New York in which a guard and two police officers were killed. It was later found that an illegal project by the FBI, #COINTELPRO , aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting, and neutralizing what they considered domestic political organizations, like Dr. #MLK ,targeted Mutulu as well as many of his comrades. He is currently incarcerated in theUnited States Penitentiary, Victorville inA delanto, California for conspiracy to aid bank expropriation, not the actual robbery. He is also the stepfather of deceased rapper #TupacAmaruShakur #DoResearch #SeekKnowledge #SeekTruth #WeWillNotBeSilent #1000Network #TruthWaiversforNoMan #ThugLife #PoliticalPrisioners #FearNoMan #WhosAfraid #Redefine #Uplift #WeDV8 #WeOnDeck
