Assata Shakur (Autobiography) non-fiction

By Assata Shakur

Assata is one amazing women and this book is excellent way to have some understanding as to why I say this. As a Black Nationalist Shakur was harassed, shot, tortured, and imprisoned. Her beliefs about Black Power, Civil Rights, and even love were constantly challenged by her peers, the government and its civil servants. Through all this she fought for her right to live with dignity and freedom. Her life story is truly awing and inspiring. Rap artist Common sums it up in his tribute song to Assata from the album, Like Water for Chocolate. "I can't imagine if that would of been me, all of this just so that we could be free"

If you dig some Black Power, inspirational individuals, and some seriously ill shit boy, check this book.
