Assata Shakur transitioned to the ancestors today a Free Woman, on the soil of a revolutionary Free Nation.
She embodied the ethos of the Black Liberation Movement: struggle, beauty, trauma and ultimately triumph.
She moved through this world as modern day Maroon.

Rest in Power Comrade Assata Shakur.
“No one is going to give you the education you need to overthrow them. Nobody is going to teach you your true history, teach you your true heroes, if they know that that knowledge will help set you free.” ~ Assata Shakur ❤️💚🖤

#InternationalWomensDay (IWD) was founded by working-class women who staunchly opposed war and fought for labor rights, peace, and equality. Rooted in the anti-war & socialist movements of the early 20th century, IWD emerged as a day to challenge oppression and demand justice. 🧵
