Assata's birthday Jul 12 2007 5:19P
*** PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY ***
On July 16, 2007 Assata Shakur, our mother, sister, comrade and revolutionary s/hero turns 60.
Last November, the “Happy Birthday Assata Campaign” kicked off a national tour featuring a traveling birthday card for Assata signed by thousands of activists, students, educators, journalists, artists, and freedom fighters nationwide. The tour featured Angela Davis, Mos Def, Sonia Sanchez and included a Detroit city council resolution honoring Assata.
Join the Hands Off Assata Campaign, the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement, supporters Angela Davis, Talib Kweli, Susan Taylor, Alice Walker, and many more to continue the fight to turn the illegitimate $1 million bounty into 1 million wishes for Assata Shakur!
