Sistah Assata Shakur passed today, 9/25/25 in Cuba. She had been living in Cuba, granted asylum, due to criminal charges from The United States. On accusations of criminal violations, what I say and what the only relevant arbiter of our human deeds, HISTORY says is this: Whatever Sistah Assata Shakur's (also formerly known under the enslaved name, Joanne Chesimard) crimes were, it wasn't any greater than the collective individual crimes and criminality that built and constructed these United States and yes the two faced hypocrisy of our Social Contract can accuse and charge her with criminal violations, causing her to flee to Cuba, just as Anglo-Saxons fled to these Native American lands of North America, under exact circumstances and conditions as Assatas'. The only indictment and charge to be examined is that of our human conditional relations, which her world view and Politics focused and breathed on, that it causes grief to which we idealistically ascribe to "sin", as some sort of generic surrogacy. Sistah Assata embodies the universalities of Assatas whose names echo in odes, BAYETE SISTAH ASSATA, AVE !!!
