The Legacy of Assata Shakur & Ghana’s Call for Justice
Manage episode 508837313 series 3515724
Assata Shakur, who passed at 78 in Havana after decades in exile, remains one of the most polarizing figures in history—a terrorist to some, a freedom fighter to others. We explore her legacy of resilience through imprisonment, exile, and sacrifice, and how her story forces us to question who controls history.
Meanwhile, Ghana’s president delivers a bold call at the UN, declaring the transatlantic slave trade “the greatest crime against humanity” and reigniting conversations on reparations, restitution, and accountability. Will acknowledgment alone ever be enough?
