https://www.labreakfastclub.com/event-details/mopremeABOUT THE PRESENTATION: In his memoir, Mopreme shares an intimately personal story of growing up in the First Family of Black liberation. Mopreme and Tupac were the children of revolutionaries who encouraged them to embrace their Blackness and instilled in them a dedication to racial justice and Afrocentrism. Theirs is a story of police brutality, incarceration, political exile, and the unfinished struggle for racial justice that long predates—and continues beyond—the Black Lives Matter movement. Insightful, inspirational, powerful, and authentically and unapologetically Black, THIS THUG’S LIFE is an essential and inimitable account of life at the intersection of Black liberation and the greatest rapper of all time, told for the first time by the man who truly lived it.
