Assata Shakur

Assata Shakur is an amazing women who marks date in history as a feminist. To me she is an amazing strong women. She is proude of who she is and where she comes from as a black women. She lived with her grand parents who tried to imbue in her personal dignityand to never act out in front of the whites.She stood up for not only the rights of herself but her people and her cultural and ethnic backround as well. She joined many orginizations as a student and took a social work class.
The characterisitics Assata Shakur has i would definately like to have. those charcteristics are strong, confidnt, a fighter for her rights, activists, believer, and more. With some of the things Assata Shakur did ans has expierenced thrughout her life in a little way relate. for example i am in this thing called the system and each individual is given a paper that has their personal rights and they give you a list of rules and expextations on the paper and each and everytime my right is violated i fight back to have my rights and each time they try to tell me that im not allowed to do this or that im quick to pull out the rule book that list what we can and cant do and what are expectations are. it alwauys raises hell.
