Passing of Giants of the Human Spirit: Ten Days When Death Came Calling, Part Four
Remembering Afeni Shakur - Part B
Remembering Afeni Shakur - Part B
I can't remember where nor when I first met Afeni Shakur. I know we had come to know each other by 1981. As Chairman of the Black United Front (BUF), I delivered my annual message, primarily, although not exclusively, to the BUF members.
Before proceeding with the funeral of Mayor Lizette Phillip-Parker, there were three transitions within the 10-day period, which I had forgotten or weren't made known to me. Now, there were ten transitions within the aforementioned period. I forgot to mention my gardener, Mr. Roderick Frazier. He was a skillful, sensitive, and generous man who cared deeply for all of God's creations, particularly Mother Nature and humans. He had a competent staff, which I am sure will sustain the care and beauty to which he was committed.
