On this day, in 1947, the Spirit of Revolution gave us ASSATA, and she did not disappointment. I hope one day we produce a film of her daring and unbelievable rescue! If you have not read her autobiography, do so! She is one of the devoted few who sacrificed so much for so many.

"Move away from the male only warrior designation. It may work wonders for a weakened, bruised ego, but the singular role of males as warriors is unAfrikan and ahistorical. Lest we forget, Queen Nzingha, Queen Judith of the Falashas, Nefertari Aahmes, Queen Hatshepsut, Queen Makeda of Sheba, Yaa Asantewa, Acheompong Nanny and Queen Tiye were some of our best Afrikan warriors. Afrikan women on the Continent and throughout the diaspora remain part and parcel of the Afrikan fighting tradition. I dare you to dismiss Assata Shakur, Nomzamo Winnie Mandela, Ida B. Wells, Harriet Tubman, Fannie Lou Hamer, Sojourner Truth, Amy Jacques Garvey or Queen Mother Moore. Sisters remain a clear and present threat to european manhood, womanhood and, ultimately, the survival of their nation. Why do you think that now, after 133 years of incarcerating “free” Afrikan men, they are after Afrikan women. Between 1985 and 1995 the incarceration rate for Afrikan men increased 130% but jumped almost 200% for Afrikan women. We apparently miss the point of genocide. Europeans fear the power of the Afrikan woman as they fear the power of the Afrikan man."
