Cleodine, Assta Shakur(Joanne Cheimard), Comes from around my old way(Southside/Jamaica,Queens), Though, I never met Assata Shakur, I met more than a few allies of Assata Shakur durig the 60's in Jamaica,Queens like Herman Ferguson(Who was the Assistant Principal at PS.40 on Union Hall st by 40 Projects in

Jamaica,Queens during the 1960's), Herman Ferguson had mad alliances to the Panthers during the 1960's, Along with Herman Ferguson being a very close alliance to Mutulo Shakur(Who was the brother of Assata Shakur and the God-father of Tupac as well as Assata Shakur being the God-mother of Tupac too), Cleodine, What

I find mad wild is, David Mancuso stated on this very board that Assta Shakur used to hang at the Loft(Original location on Broadway in Manhattan, During the early 70's), Before Assta shakur went underground during the early 70's).

Much Respect
