Assata Shakur: Eyes Of The Rainbow

"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."
.
Born JoAnne Deborah Byron; July 16, 1947, also JoAnne Chesimard, she rose as a leading member of the Black Panther Party and the Black Liberation Army, fighting for justice and freedom.Born in Flushing, Queens, Shakur grew up in New York City and Wilmington, North Carolina. After running away from home several times, she was taken in by an aunt, who later acted as one of her lawyers.
A political exile in Cuba since 1984, her life embodied resistance, resilience, and the unyielding pursuit of liberation. Her legacy lives on in the generations she inspired to stand tall in the face of oppression.
The best way to honor her is with a quote we all should understand:
“It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.”
Rest in power, Assata.

.After attending CCNY, Shakur moved to Oakland, California, where she joined the Black Panther Party (BPP), and worked to organize protests and community education programs. After returning to New York City, she led the BPP chapter in Harlem, coordinating the Free Breakfast for Children program, free clinics, and community outreach. But she soon left the party, disliking the macho behavior of the men and believing that the BPP members and leaders lacked knowledge and understanding of African-American history.
Shakur joined the Black Liberation Army (BLA), an offshoot whose members were inspired by the Vietcong and the Algerian independence fighters of the Battle of Algiers. They mounted a campaign of guerilla activities against the U.S. government, using such tactics as planting bombs, holding up banks, and murdering drug dealers and police.

LAKE LANIER: What ACTUALLY Happened?
The Story of Lake Lanier has been told time and time again however each time I hear it. I can help but wonder why so many parts are left out. Todays video goes in depth into the various events of Lake Lanier and its history before it was ever even considered. I’ll be talking about the Night Riders, the Ghost Stories, The Lady of The Lake, What Lake Lanier does and what its official purpose for being built was.
In the beginning of my YouTube Adventure I had gone to Lake Lanier and told the story of the Lady of The Lake but left out others in the name of being respectful.
As I’ve come to believe though… if we never know of the tragedies that have occurred at Lake Lanier how can we know what to be on the look for. I add a story of someone that past away a while ago but I know he is still missed. This young boy, Kile, was the stepson of a very famous artist. I’ll be telling that towards the end of the video and I’ll be sure to add time stamps.
The only thing worse than everybody knowing that tragedy has occurred at Lake Lanier is nobody knowing. While I remain skeptical of many legends about this lake I also am very aware of how something’s has played out. There is no doubt “something” going on in the waters of Lake Lanier. You may believe ghosts are responsible of the stories of people losing their life here or perhaps you believe something else. Perhaps you believe demons are to blame for the lives lost at Lake Lanier.
Others believe that because this land has been stolen over and over again that the Native Americans have some long lost story of a curse out upon this land and that it was always destined for evil. I personally don’t know what to believe about Lake Lanier. It may be a haunted lake or maybe due to its construction it’s just an overly hazardous place to swim.
All I can say for sure is… I don’t plan to go swimming in Lake Lanier anytime soon.

Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young - Ohio (Official Music Video) HD.
Song composed at the deaths of the four students shot by the National Guard in Ohio in the 70's. Two of the four were quietly protesting, which the other two were walking to class. Nixon nd the press falsely claimed the protest had turned voilent in order to explain the purpose for the Guards, but that was a lie, according to the news porting and archiving record. Their lives must remain as a mental vanguard against oppressive governmental authority, or dictatorship.
