Question

An activist with this last name released the tape “To My People,” which exhorts “It is our duty to fight for our freedom / It is our duty to win.” Kersplebedeb (15[1])(“kers-PLEB-eh-deb”) published essays by a PG-RNA member with this last name in the collection Stand Up, Struggle Forward, 20 years after he wrote of his time as an Eight Tray gang leader in Monster. After writing to Pope John Paul II, a person with this last name agreed to an NBC interview that was crosscut with an interview with the widow Rose Foerster. (15[1])An all-white jury convicted a (*) revolutionary with this last name for crimes allegedly committed alongside Sundiata (10[1])Acoli (10[2]-5[1])after they were stopped on the New Jersey (10[1])Turnpike. (10[1]-5[1])This (10[1])last name (10[2])was adopted by a member of (-5[1])the Black Liberation Army who wrote a mononymous autobiography from exile in Cuba. For 10 points, give this last name of Assata and (10[1])Afeni, who is the dedicatee of “Dear Mama” by her son Tupac. ■END■ (10[3])

ANSWER: Shakur [accept Sanyika Shakur or Assata Olugbala Shakur or Afeni Shakur Davis or Tupac Amaru Shakur; accept Assata: An Autobiography until “Assata” is read; accept “Monster” Kody Scott; accept Joanne Deborah Byron or Joanne Chesimard; accept Afeni Shakur Davis or Alice Faye Williams; accept Lesane Parish Crooks] (Zayd Malik Shakur was also in the car with Assata Shakur and Sundiata Acoli. Assata Shakur was the godmother of Tupac Shakur.)
