Hasan Baz'il Shakur
Hasan Baz'il Shakoor will be writing for this site soon. This is a part of his letter to me.
I have been incarcerated for 5 years on this case. I am only 25 years of age and have been doing this for a few years but took it seriously and took my own direction just a year ago. I just got tired of people complaining but not even attempting to offer any avenue of solution! Why complain if you choose not doing anything? My motto: Do something or shut up! That is my motto and basically I stick to it. In this situation it is that I am in, it is very hard to do certain things without being taken as a militant of anti-American of something of that nature. I am African, Muslim, Young and look like the late Tupac! I suppose to not be of conscious mind like I am but I refuse to be stereotyped into this or that category at all. I come from a hard background and have had my share of loss.
