GA Congresswoman Wants Tupac in Archives

Sunday, December 11, 2005
By: Michael Ivey


Cynthia McKinney TupacGeorgia state representative Cynthia McKinney continues to push for public access to all government records concerning Tupac’s life and death. Her proposed bill would establish a Tupac Amaru Shakur records collection at the National Archives in Washington, DC. McKinney feels his story “should be preserved for historical and governmental purposes.”

Tupac was murdered during a drive by shooting on the Las Vegas Strip in 1996. Prior to the shooting he and his entourage beat up Crip gang member Orlando Anderson in a hotel lobby. Tupac himself felt he was under police surveillance prior to his shooting. His murder case remains unsolved. East coast rap rival Christopher “Biggie” Wallace was murdered a year later in LA, many feel in retaliation for Tupac’s killing.

Cynthia McKinney’s bill has yet to be voted on by Congress. She has been a GA state rep. since 1992 . Her political platform puts provisions for Georgia’s poor and underrepresented at the forefront. Her state is home to the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation Center for the arts, opened this past June.

His own vices got him killed, and because the [living] needs their heroes and jesus figures, we turned him into what we needed him to be.

I doubt the bill will go through the last thing the government wants is kids looking up to 2pac or any rapper for that matter.

That is true, the government wont let that happen, i geuss they feel tupac is a theat to them, even though he is dead, that shows how weak the government is in america

I really doubt if the bill will be passed by the goverment coz, for them tupac is not a artist but a threat to them at his time coz tupac is a realist, his not just a rapper but an icon in the music industry

It's a shame that tupac followed the wrong crowd to get attention. I believe he could have made it on his own merits without the so-called thug life but unfortunately thats the rout he chose. This does not mean that his music and movies did not reflect the sensitive side of of him because everyone he worked with embraced his sincere commitment. I still have love for his music. I got through a lot of tough times listening to him. I hope the goal is achieved. We as an african american people need to kick the willie lynch syndrome. I love you afeni shakur and big ups to assata shakur. Look for the kiss da pinki ring ent compilation 2006

Pac is a living legend but i aint gonna front when he was a alive i didnt like that n*ggas talkin all that sh*t about nas the biggie and mobb deep and calling the east coast out on most of his music. Its a shame we look to thugged out rappers as heros. I guess we aint got no more real heros in the hood. Black preachers are nothing but jokes with they $2000 armani suits on and beggin me to send them more money so i can pay they mercedez car payment. Jesse jackson is a camera hound. Farrakhan is on again and off again. Al sharpton is well al is a clown with the slick back hair due. And black men are completely out to lunch. No time to raise they seed. To busy chasing fast money and ass, and gettin locked up.

Tupac was a brother from the streets, he wasn't dumb he didn't have to speak for the young black males that everybody left out u know. He was a millionaire and didn't have to do all those things he did for us. We gotta appreciate him for that! someone heard us finally...the young black males, young n*ggaz as he would say. A genius,a poet, thug life
