In-Person

Join the Education Committee for Milwaukee DSA's monthly book club! This month, we're reading Assata Shakur's autobiography which is titled, easily enough, Assata: An Autobiography.

As a prominent political figure of the mid to late 20th century, Shakur is known for her involvement with the Black Panther Party and subsequent political persecution at the hands of the state, which eventually led to her fleeing to Cuba where she lived out the rest of her days.

Written in a laconic voice full of both passion and tenderness, Shakur tells her history through her own lens, giving us insight into the thought, life, and context of one of the left's most admirable figures. Come talk amongst DSA members about this one, it should be fun!

Three physical copies, as well as two eBooks, of Assata: An Autobiography are available through the Milwaukee Public Library System or as a free PDF.
