Description
The Context of White Supremacy hosts our seventh and final study session on the autobiography of Assata Shakur. Formerly JoAnne Chesimard, Shakur was a committed member of the Black Panther Party and the Black Liberation Army, convicted of killing New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster, an escaped felon, the first woman ever listed on the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorist List, and a writer. She continues to generate controversy as 60 faculty and staff members at Marquette University have demanded that a mural depicting her likeness be reproduced. Last week's session detailed Assata's involvement with and scrutiny of the Black Panther Party. She provided profound discernment of how Whites exacerbated strife between black people, which helped suppress counter-racist efforts. She described the frenzied pace of the late 60's and early 70's where violence, deceit, drugs and Racists contaminated the environment and confounded one's ability to make sense. Keep an eye out for the influence of Christianity.
