Months of November and December

2019

"Assata"

"Assata" is a 1987 book written by Assata Shakur with forwards by Angela Davis and Lennox S. Hinds.

This autobiography recounts the experiences that led Assata Shakur to a life of activism and portrays the strengths, weaknesses, and eventual demise of Black and White revolutionary groups at the hand of government officials. Assata was incarcerated for four years prior to her conviction as an accomplice to the murder of a white state trooper. This conviction was, however, based on questionable evidence. Two years after her conviction, Assata Shakur escaped from prison. She was given political asylum by Cuba, where she now resides.

We will begin our sixth book on November 1, 2019. Hopefully everyone is now familiar with the site and GroupMe. The book is $14.49 on Amazon and contains 274 pages and 21 chapters. I've provided a weekly schedule below for everyone to ATTEMPT to follow.
