## Caption

Tupac Shakur is remembered, especially in the media, for two things: his rap career and his tragic end. But music journalist and author Dean Van Nguyen believes there’s more to his story.⁠
⁠
His book, Words for My Comrades: A Political History of Tupac Shakur, takes a very different look at the rapper’s life and that of his mother, Afeni Shakur, a former member of the Black Panther Party who was a fierce advocate for the deconstruction of American imperialism. It’s a passion both shared.⁠
