As happy as many were to see him released from prison last November, we now must unfortunately say goodbye to Black liberation movement elder Dr. Mutulu Shakur following his death on Thursday night (July 6), as confirmed on Twitter by fellow activist Kamau Franklin.
The late civil rights pioneer, also once stepfather to late rap icon 2Pac Shakur, was 72 years old.
Born in Baltimore, Maryland on August 8, 1950, Shakur moved to Queens, New York as a child and soon after became active with the Revolutionary Action Movement and Republic of New Afrika as a teen. He made an interesting turn to acupuncture therapy, even going on to spearhead the Black Acupuncture Advisory Association of North America and the Harlem Institute of Acupuncture.
However, it was a now-infamous 1981 Brinkโs robbery that would follow him forever, landing him behind bars on RICO charges as the ringleader following his arrest in 1986, trial in 1987 and eventual conviction in 1988 on a 60-year bid. His parole was eligible after serving 30 years, but it would take another six before his official release, and that was primarily due to the fact that he was diagnosed with terminal bone marrow cancer in June 2022 and given six months to live. Weโre just glad he was blessed with a few more months to spend with loved ones.
Rest in eternal power, Dr. Mutulu Shakur
