Flashing back to her childhood, Assata continues to be an excellent storyteller - she does a great job of melding her young and current perspectives on growing up. I also think she really effectively demonstrates how she was typical and atypical of black children in NYC and Wilmington at the time, in how she behaved, viewed herself & others, and her understanding of how the world did & ought to work.

I love how petty Assata can be, she has some very funny moments of defiance. It is genuinely insane how incredibly targeted her treatment was, so it’s no wonder her outlook looking back on all these events. I don’t understand how something this blatant gets brushed under the rug; obviously there’s serious mistreatment of POC in the justice system, but her story appears to just be on a whole other level.

Kind of funny how Angela Davis’ foreword is a third the length but three times more poignant and impactful than Lennox Hinds’. I love how Anatta Shakur writes, and immediately am so impressed by her tenacity and refusal to be a victim despite being shot three times, held in captivity, interrogated, tortured, and wrongfully accused of murder and assault. She was clearly an absolute badass.
