The following material
on the immediate ancestry of
Tupac Shakur
should not be considered either exhaustive or definitive,
but rather as a first draft.
The information was largely derived from
Look for me in the Whirlwhind:
the Collective Autobiography of the New York 21 (1971),
by (among others) Kuwasi Balagoon, Lumumba Shakur,
Afeni Shakur, Clark Squire, and Jamal Joseph;
and from Afeni Shakur, Evolution of a Revolutionary,
(2004) by Jasimine Guy.
The primary contribution of the undersigned is that of
HTML-izing Mr. Child's work.
