Description

The aim of this presentation is to educate people on the life and times of Tupac Shakur. Tupac is an example of how our society's social system fails its youth. Listeners will be informed about Tupac's life and the hardships he experienced. As an advocate for change and justice, Tupac emerged as an aggressive but sensible voice for his generation. Through his lyrics, Tupac was educating the public to the inequalities in our society's political and legal systems. Because of this, the same people he was speaking against tried to destroy his character in their successful attempt to close White ears. Our government was extremely fearful of Tupac due to the fact that he was reminding people of what they had worked for years to make White America forget.
