  • Afeni Shakur (born January 22, 1947) is the mother of late American rapper and icon Tupac Shakur, and was a member of the Black Panther Party. Shakur was born Alice Faye Williams in Lumberton, North Carolina to Rosa Belle and Walter Williams, Jr. She led a series of chapters during the "break down" of the Black Panther party. She wrote columns for the Panther Post. While pregnant with her son Tupac by Billy Garland, Afeni Shakur was arrested for withholding information that could have led to the arrest of leading members of "Panther 21". While in prison, Afeni Shakur reportedly obtained a court order to have three boiled eggs per day because the food within the jail was unfit for an expecting mother. She defended herself in court during a bomb conspiracy trial and was acquitted of 156 counts against her and other members of the Black Panther Party. No evidence was found to support the charges. After her son was born, she married Mutulu Shakur (who later became her son's stepfather). Afeni and Mutulu had a daughter they named Sekyiwa Shakur, half-sister of Tupac. Since her son's death, Afeni Shakur oversaw Tupac's unreleased material. She brought in producers to work with her son's unreleased material which led to the sales of millions of albums. Afeni is credited for her ability to sell Tupac's work. A year after Tupac's death, in 1997, with the money made from Tupac's posthumous albums, Afeni founded the Georgia-based Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation, which provides art programs for young people, and Amaru Entertainment, the holding company for all Tupac's unreleased material. She has also since launched a fashion clothing line, Makaveli Branded; all proceeds go to his charity, the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation. (en)
