Afeni Shakur, mother of the late legendary rapper and Hip Hop icon, Tupac Shakur, recently made a speech in Memphis at the Dream Reborn Conference and brought what some are calling 'the heat'.

April 2nd 1969, 363 days later, 21 Black Panthers was arrested in New York City-- 1 year later. So, the other day I just celebrated 39 years of my arrest in where did I celebrate it at-- Virginia Tech, Virginia Tech. Yes! There's so much healing to be done in our places...," she continued.

Afeni went on to ask, "Where are the women?," and encouraged them to tell their stories as she continued to share her story with them...
