Under one massive arm, he carries a chess set, a flier for an upcoming chess tournament at the Hilltop mall in Richmond, and a Willy Wonka-esque top hat.

Inside the store, piles of Beastmode chocolate bars are stacked underneath mannequins dressed in Beastmode leggings and Lynch's new Cal-branded Beastmode shirts. Everyone here will get a chocolate bar, a photo, and a second or two of Lynch's time. No autographs and no interviews will be given -- which gets rid of the two TV cameramen who have shown up, seconds after they film his entrance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/sign-w-chocolate-e1474910814628.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-38832\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/sign-w-chocolate-e1474910814628-800x1422.jpg\" alt=\"sign w chocolate\" width=\"800\" height=\"1422\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/sign-w-chocolate-e1474910814628-800x1422.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/sign-w-chocolate-e1474910814628-400x711.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/sign-w-chocolate-e1474910814628-768x1365.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/sign-w-chocolate-e1474910814628-1440x2560.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/sign-w-chocolate-e1474910814628-1180x2098.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/sign-w-chocolate-e1474910814628-960x1707.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/sign-w-chocolate-e1474910814628.jpg 1836w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More notably, the reception Lynch gives his fans, who have dutifully lined up to get a photo of him in his Wonka hat, depends entirely on who they are.

She considered bartending, or some kind of food service. She worked as a bike courier for one whole day before deciding it wasn't for her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then she had a terrifying idea: What if she committed to music full-time?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I had this moment of realizing, hey, if I try and find some other crappy job just to stay in the city, I'm not gonna do what I'm passionate about,\" remembers McKinley. \"I want to be a musician. I want to take it seriously, and I want that to be my job.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inspired by an interview she'd heard with Fiona Apple in which the singer described writing \"Extraordinary Machine\" as a way of giving herself advice, McKinley sat down to write herself a pep talk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/328575980.png\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-36037\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/328575980-800x800.png\" alt=\"328575980\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/328575980-800x800.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/328575980-400x400.png 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/328575980-768x768.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/328575980-960x960.png 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/328575980-32x32.png 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/328575980-50x50.png 50w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/328575980-64x64.png 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/328575980-96x96.png 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/328575980-128x128.png 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/328575980-150x150.png 150w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/09/328575980.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It appears on her sophomore LP and first full-band electric effort, \u003cem>Treat\u003c/em>, which the singer and guitarist released in June. And it was a no-brainer of a choice when, a few weeks later, she got a call from director Pete Lee at Scandinavia, an East Bay production studio that was hosting a free music video-making summer camp for kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the first week of August, under the auspices of the arts education nonprofit \u003ca href=\"http://www.omgeverywhere.org/home/\" target=\"_blank\">OMG Everywhere\u003c/a>, 20 youth ages 10 to 15 learned the ins and outs of designing and directing music videos, from creating props to operating cameras. The camp is free for kids to attend. KQED Pop is pleased to premiere one of their final products below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I got so excited about this idea of realizing this song in particular with children,\" says McKinley, noting that she worked with the campers to come up with the concept -- which is, loosely, that sometimes you must put down the video games and go to a dance party -- and then the young filmmakers directed her from start to finish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Committing to my passions really held me accountable. And I wanted to help reinforce the idea that [kids] do have that potential, that, you know, 'You deserve to ask yourself what you're passionate about and take that seriously, to devote time to being creative.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"'Do what you want' is basically a more PC way of saying 'Don't bullsh*t yourself,\" she says with a laugh. \"Also, 'Do What You Like' was already taken decades ago by Blind Faith.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/BtWBPVBcbVo'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/BtWBPVBcbVo'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cem>Kendra McKinley plays the poster room at The Fillmore this Sunday, Sept. 11 (\u003ca href=\"http://thefillmore.com/event/wilco-5/\" target=\"_blank\">with Wilco on the main stage\u003c/a>) and \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/wearescandinavia/?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\">Scandinavia\u003c/a> in Emeryville on Monday, Sept. 12 (with Portland's \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/08/25/491093526/first-listen-y-la-bamba-ojos-del-sol\" target=\"_blank\">Y La Bamba\u003c/a>).

It's a cousin to writer's block, but louder, and more like a vacuum -- an overwhelming, dog whistle-pitched white noise occupying the corner of your head usually reserved for germinating Hot Takes on Taylor Swift or \u003cem>Ghostbusters\u003c/em> or Peter Thiel. If it were a song with words, they would go \"How on \u003cem>Earth\u003c/em> am I supposed to write about this shit like it matters right now / dear god what is it that I actually do for a living / give up, retreat, crawl under the covers and do not move from the fetal position until the world stops seeming so dark and it feels okay to be entertained by \u003ca href=\"http://gawker.com/smash-mouths-desperate-endless-twitter-battle-1781910819\" target=\"_blank\">Smash Mouth's Twitter feed\u003c/a> again.\" (I never said it was catchy.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then, inevitably, slowly, the paralysis subsides. In its place, alongside righteous anger, is something softer. Something like: After you've cried and screamed and written letters to your congressperson and danced and drank and used whatever coping mechanisms you might personally use to try to make sense of something that's the very definition of senseless, there is a place and a purpose for silliness. Levity, entertainment, diversion -- stupidity, even -- they all have jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a reason, after all, that \u003ca href=\"http://www.cbsnews.com/news/what-movies-mean-to-us-in-hard-times/\" target=\"_blank\">Hollywood enjoyed its first golden age during the worst of the Great Depression. \u003c/a>In the 14th century, when the bubonic plague was devastating Western Europe, people made up \u003cem>jousting\u003c/em>, for Christ's sake. I'm no expert, but archaeologists would probably tell you at least a few of mankind's earliest cave paintings, rendered by humans under constant threat of death by the elements or woolly mammoth, were essentially prehistoric Cathy cartoons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is with this preamble, and a strong feeling that a love of inanity can exist alongside deep reverence and grief, and also a strong feeling that some of you need to step away from Facebook comment arguments about the Second Amendment before you say things to relatives you later come to regret, that I present the following:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is a circus at Fort Mason right now. It has been here for about a week, and it has five more scheduled performances before it is over. This circus features cats. Cats walking on tightropes. Cats pushing balls in an organized fashion. Cats playing in a motherf*cking rock 'n' roll band.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5Oko13Le44\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I mean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnLcnak9vak\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here is some copy, which I have not edited, from the Amazing Acro-Cats' official \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/events/1567257286925425/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook event page\u003c/a> for their time in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The Amazing Acro-cats are a troupe of REAL house cats that jump and pounce into your heart! Reaching out to shelters in need and accepting cats found homeless in the streets, Samantha Martin has not only rescued her own cats but also have found homes for over 172 cats and kittens. Giving them a second chance with positive reinforcement-only clicker training, they take these amazing abilities on the road and tour the nation in the infamous Acro-cat Bus!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ever see a cat walk a tightrope? Meow you can! Ever see someone's pet balance and roll on a ball across the floor? Come see it here and meow! OMG WHUT? - a cat riding a skateboard! But wait, there is so, so much more! The grand finale, presenting the ONLY ALL CAT BAND IN EXISTENCE - Tuna and the Rock Cats! The current band lineup is Tuna on Cowbell, Oz on guitar, Asti on Drums, and Nue on keyboard - Real cats purrforming with Real instruments have blown minds and educated audiences of all ages that CATS CAN ACTUALLY BE TRAINED!\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4-i7PSzAfA\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Acro-Cats perform tonight, June 17, at 7pm; Saturday, June 18 at 3 and 7pm; and Sunday, June 19 at 1 and 5pm in the Southside Theatre at Fort Mason Center, Building D.

It's a cousin to writer's block, but louder, and more like a vacuum -- an overwhelming, dog whistle-pitched white noise occupying the corner of your head usually reserved for germinating Hot Takes on Taylor Swift or \u003cem>Ghostbusters\u003c/em> or Peter Thiel. If it were a song with words, they would go \"How on \u003cem>Earth\u003c/em> am I supposed to write about this shit like it matters right now / dear god what is it that I actually do for a living / give up, retreat, crawl under the covers and do not move from the fetal position until the world stops seeming so dark and it feels okay to be entertained by \u003ca href=\"http://gawker.com/smash-mouths-desperate-endless-twitter-battle-1781910819\" target=\"_blank\">Smash Mouth's Twitter feed\u003c/a> again.\" (I never said it was catchy.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then, inevitably, slowly, the paralysis subsides. In its place, alongside righteous anger, is something softer. Something like: After you've cried and screamed and written letters to your congressperson and danced and drank and used whatever coping mechanisms you might personally use to try to make sense of something that's the very definition of senseless, there is a place and a purpose for silliness. Levity, entertainment, diversion -- stupidity, even -- they all have jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a reason, after all, that \u003ca href=\"http://www.cbsnews.com/news/what-movies-mean-to-us-in-hard-times/\" target=\"_blank\">Hollywood enjoyed its first golden age during the worst of the Great Depression. \u003c/a>In the 14th century, when the bubonic plague was devastating Western Europe, people made up \u003cem>jousting\u003c/em>, for Christ's sake. I'm no expert, but archaeologists would probably tell you at least a few of mankind's earliest cave paintings, rendered by humans under constant threat of death by the elements or woolly mammoth, were essentially prehistoric Cathy cartoons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I met Afeni \u003ca href=\"http://www.daveyd.com/afeni.html\">almost a year to the day her son was taken from us\u003c/a>. It was in Marin City, where she had raised Tupac. She wasn’t doing interviews, but had agreed to talk with us because we had known her son just as he was starting his career. We were there at the beginning, when Oakland’s Digital Underground was starting, and knew Tupac when he first linked up with the group. He was doing the Humpty Dance in their videos and basically being a roadie for them while he honed his emcee skills and built upon his writing — which was already on point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byIkY9qsTdU\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the world knew an in-your-face, bold, outspoken Tupac, we knew a Tupac who was well-read and had intellectual depth. We knew a Tupac who was well-versed in Panther history and at the end of the day, in spite of all his brashness, was about the community and seeing it uplifted. Pac often said he was trying to give voice to the young Black male, who he felt was systemically being demonized and made into a scapegoat for society’s deep-seated problems. Pac had his contradictions, but for those of us who knew him, the one thing you could say unequivocally was he was honest. Brutally honest. Honest when it was inconvenient, honest when it ruffled feathers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_23778\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23778\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/11419146_1206956299321511_491017024_n.jpg\" alt=\"Tupacs business card.\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/11419146_1206956299321511_491017024_n.jpg 640w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/11419146_1206956299321511_491017024_n-400x400.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/11419146_1206956299321511_491017024_n-32x32.jpg 32w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/11419146_1206956299321511_491017024_n-64x64.jpg 64w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/11419146_1206956299321511_491017024_n-96x96.jpg 96w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/11419146_1206956299321511_491017024_n-128x128.jpg 128w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/11419146_1206956299321511_491017024_n-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tupac’s business card.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The Tupac many of us came to know was also one who always referenced his mom. He always uplifted her — long before he released the song that immortalized her, “Dear Mama.” In the Digital Underground camp, we came to know of Afeni via the running barbs that Tupac and group member Money B would privately and publicly exchange with one another. Tupac might be on stage at a concert and, as the crowd gave him a standing ovation, he would sign off by clowning Money B’s mom — e.g. “Can we give it up for Money B’s mom, who will be outside the concert beatboxing for quarters?” The crowd would roar with laughter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Days later, Money B might be doing a radio interview in New York and, before leaving, he would get back at Tupac: “I wanna thank Tupac’s mom Afeni for not stealing the dice at the dice game I just left.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb1ZvUDvLDY\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her name was mentioned often — frequently in jest, but the jokes were never explicitly offensive. Even if we had not met her personally, we knew Afeni was a former Black Panther, and she had our reverence and respect. We knew she was part of the Panther 21, who were brought up on conspiracy charges in 1971. We knew that Afeni had represented herself during the trial while pregnant with Tupac. We knew that she and the other Panther members beat the case and were acquitted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when doing \u003ca href=\"http://www.daveyd.com/afeni.html\">that interview\u003c/a> with Afeni a year after Tupac’s passing, it was with a mixture of sadness and awe: This was the woman we had heard so much about. It became clear that day where Tupac got his strength. It was clear that day why Pac was so well-read, why he was so brutally honest. During our conversation, Afeni noted that she and her children lived in truth. There were no secrets, she said, and Tupac was truthful in the face of anything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked to clear up any misconceptions about her son, Afeni noted that while most people saw him just as a rapper, he was in fact so much more than that. “Tupac was and remains in my mind a child of the Black Panther Party,” she said. “I always felt that Tupac was living witness to who we are and who we were. I think that his life spoke to every part of our development and the development of the Party, and the development in this country that I don’t think will die.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_23774\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 680px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23774\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/tupac-afeni-shakur_i1kblb_o6m3ya.jpg\" alt=\"Afeni and Tupac Shakur\" width=\"680\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/tupac-afeni-shakur_i1kblb_o6m3ya.jpg 680w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/tupac-afeni-shakur_i1kblb_o6m3ya-400x259.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Afeni and Tupac Shakur\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>During our conversation, Afeni talked at length about her own upbringing. She talked about joining the Black Panthers in 1968 and how, unlike many who came onboard via college, she came to the party out of a gang in the South Bronx called the Disciples Deads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What the Panther Party did for me? I used to always say it gave me home training,” she said. “The Party taught me things that were principles to living … principles I think most Panthers have tried to pass on to their children and to anybody else that would listen to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“…One of those principles was like, don’t steal a penny, needle or a simple piece of thread from the people. It’s just general basic things about how we as individuals treat a race of people, and how we treat each other as a people! And those are the things I think the people recognize in Tupac.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdLJ-8p-eUA\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During our interview, we were interrupted when former Black Panther and recently released political prisoner Geronimo Ji-Jaga Pratt came in to greet Afeni. I recall her smiling broadly and the two embracing. As we ended the interview, Afeni teared up a bit when she urged us to study Tupac’s music and read books like \u003cem>The Art of War\u003c/em> by Sun Tzu, and \u003cem>The Prince\u003c/em> by Machiavelli, so that we “would have a better way of looking at things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for her son’s killers, she noted: “Not only will they have to live with it, but so will their children and their children’s children. I would not want to stand before God and say that I’m the one who took Tupac’s life. So what I have to say is more power to them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Afeni’s words were in sharp contrast to those who, at that time, were insisting that Tupac had faked his death and was still alive. It was clear that she knew the grave truth and was facing it while so many had not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_23770\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23770\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/2PAC2.jpg\" alt=\"Afeni Shakur speaks to a crowd at the center named for her son in 2005.\" width=\"600\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/2PAC2.jpg 600w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/2PAC2-400x265.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Afeni Shakur speaks to a crowd at the center named for her son in 2005. \u003ccite>(Renee’ Hannans Henry)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Years later, I got to see Afeni for a second time. I was with Chuck D of Public Enemy and then-Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. We went to the [now defunct] \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupac_Amaru_Shakur_Center_for_the_Arts\">Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts\u003c/a>, which Afeni had founded just outside Atlanta. She spoke to us about the work of the education and performing arts foundation and the peace garden she had set up. The center’s purpose was not only to preserve Tupac’s legacy but to carry out Pac’s vision of reaching the youth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That center was the realization of a dream Tupac held for a long time. In 1991, he filed a \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/1996/09/14/arts/tupac-shakur-25-rap-performer-who-personified-violence-dies.html?pagewanted=2\">$10 million civil suit against the Oakland Police Department\u003c/a>, alleging they \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-G7HbQX8Qg\">beat him after he was stopped for jaywalking\u003c/a>. He vowed that the money he got would go to build a youth center, and continue the afterschool program work he was doing in Marin with his friend and former manager Leila Steinberg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pac never got $10 million from the OPD. In an \u003ca href=\"http://www.riverfronttimes.com/newsblog/2011/06/16/tupac-shakurs-40th-birthday-lessons-in-police-community-relationships\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">out-of-court settlement\u003c/a>, he barely got enough to pay for his lawyer, but in his death his mother had carried out much of that vision with the center. She talked earnestly about the peace garden and her hopes for many to heal. Whereas the Black Panthers’ plan was for their children (Panther Cubs) to carry out the vision of the Panthers, here we saw Afeni the Black Panther carrying out the vision of her child.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_23775\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 625px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23775\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/enhanced-6058-1462277630-2.jpg\" alt=\"Afeni Shakur is escorted from a police station in New York in1969 after her arrest. \" width=\"625\" height=\"503\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/enhanced-6058-1462277630-2.jpg 625w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/enhanced-6058-1462277630-2-400x322.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Afeni Shakur is escorted from a police station in New York in1969 after her arrest. \u003ccite>(AP)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Afeni also went to great lengths to educate herself and get her son’s music affairs in order. She gained control of \u003ca href=\"http://www.spin.com/2013/09/tupac-shakur-afeni-royalties-death-row-lawsuit-unreleased/\">his unreleased music\u003c/a>. She set up a record label, Amaru Records, and accomplished the Herculean task of getting the his assets under one roof, preventing them from exploitation by an often unforgiving and cannibalistic music industry. Afeni Shakur became a sharp businesswoman and, in doing so, prevented the silencing of her son’s voice and nefarious distortions of his legacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last time I saw Afeni was in Memphis in 2008, during the Dream Reborn conference, a civil rights gathering organized by former White House adviser and longtime organizer Van Jones. Afeni gave \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94sXTwU0h18\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a keynote address\u003c/a> for the ages: she talked about the importance of folks being spiritually grounded, owning land and being self-sufficient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the surface, it may have appeared Afeni was headed in a different direction and no longer saw herself as a revolutionary or militant. The truth of the matter was that Afeni was talking about setting up survival programs. She was talking about making sure we as a people would be able to take care of one another, and would not have to be dependent upon a system that did not fully care for far too many of us. That message was an extension of what the Panthers were about, and in many ways, what was core to their existence.

Pac often said he was trying to give voice to the young Black male, who he felt was systemically being demonized and made into a scapegoat for society’s deep-seated problems.

He always uplifted her — long before he released the song that immortalized her, “Dear Mama.” In the Digital Underground camp, we came to know of Afeni via the running barbs that Tupac and group member Money B would privately and publicly exchange with one another. Tupac might be on stage at a concert and, as the crowd gave him a standing ovation, he would sign off by clowning Money B’s mom — e.g. “Can we give it up for Money B’s mom, who will be outside the concert beatboxing for quarters?” The crowd would roar with laughter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Days later, Money B might be doing a radio interview in New York and, before leaving, he would get back at Tupac: “I wanna thank Tupac’s mom Afeni for not stealing the dice at the dice game I just left.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/Mb1ZvUDvLDY'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/Mb1ZvUDvLDY'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Her name was mentioned often — frequently in jest, but the jokes were never explicitly offensive. Even if we had not met her personally, we knew Afeni was a former Black Panther, and she had our reverence and respect. We knew she was part of the Panther 21, who were brought up on conspiracy charges in 1971. We knew that Afeni had represented herself during the trial while pregnant with Tupac. We knew that she and the other Panther members beat the case and were acquitted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when doing \u003ca href=\"http://www.daveyd.com/afeni.html\">that interview\u003c/a> with Afeni a year after Tupac’s passing, it was with a mixture of sadness and awe: This was the woman we had heard so much about. It became clear that day where Tupac got his strength. It was clear that day why Pac was so well-read, why he was so brutally honest. During our conversation, Afeni noted that she and her children lived in truth. There were no secrets, she said, and Tupac was truthful in the face of anything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked to clear up any misconceptions about her son, Afeni noted that while most people saw him just as a rapper, he was in fact so much more than that. “Tupac was and remains in my mind a child of the Black Panther Party,” she said. “I always felt that Tupac was living witness to who we are and who we were. I think that his life spoke to every part of our development and the development of the Party, and the development in this country that I don’t think will die.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_23774\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 680px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23774\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/tupac-afeni-shakur_i1kblb_o6m3ya.jpg\" alt=\"Afeni and Tupac Shakur\" width=\"680\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/tupac-afeni-shakur_i1kblb_o6m3ya.jpg 680w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/tupac-afeni-shakur_i1kblb_o6m3ya-400x259.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Afeni and Tupac Shakur\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>During our conversation, Afeni talked at length about her own upbringing. She talked about joining the Black Panthers in 1968 and how, unlike many who came onboard via college, she came to the party out of a gang in the South Bronx called the Disciples Deads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What the Panther Party did for me? I used to always say it gave me home training,” she said. “The Party taught me things that were principles to living … principles I think most Panthers have tried to pass on to their children and to anybody else that would listen to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“…One of those principles was like, don’t steal a penny, needle or a simple piece of thread from the people. It’s just general basic things about how we as individuals treat a race of people, and how we treat each other as a people! And those are the things I think the people recognize in Tupac.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/QdLJ-8p-eUA'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/QdLJ-8p-eUA'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>During our interview, we were interrupted when former Black Panther and recently released political prisoner Geronimo Ji-Jaga Pratt came in to greet Afeni. I recall her smiling broadly and the two embracing. As we ended the interview, Afeni teared up a bit when she urged us to study Tupac’s music and read books like \u003cem>The Art of War\u003c/em> by Sun Tzu, and \u003cem>The Prince\u003c/em> by Machiavelli, so that we “would have a better way of looking at things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for her son’s killers, she noted: “Not only will they have to live with it, but so will their children and their children’s children. I would not want to stand before God and say that I’m the one who took Tupac’s life. So what I have to say is more power to them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Afeni’s words were in sharp contrast to those who, at that time, were insisting that Tupac had faked his death and was still alive. It was clear that she knew the grave truth and was facing it while so many had not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_23770\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23770\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/2PAC2.jpg\" alt=\"Afeni Shakur speaks to a crowd at the center named for her son in 2005.\" width=\"600\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/2PAC2.jpg 600w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/2PAC2-400x265.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Afeni Shakur speaks to a crowd at the center named for her son in 2005. \u003ccite>(Renee’ Hannans Henry)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Years later, I got to see Afeni for a second time. I was with Chuck D of Public Enemy and then-Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. We went to the [now defunct] \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupac_Amaru_Shakur_Center_for_the_Arts\">Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts\u003c/a>, which Afeni had founded just outside Atlanta. She spoke to us about the work of the education and performing arts foundation and the peace garden she had set up. The center’s purpose was not only to preserve Tupac’s legacy but to carry out Pac’s vision of reaching the youth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That center was the realization of a dream Tupac held for a long time. In 1991, he filed a \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/1996/09/14/arts/tupac-shakur-25-rap-performer-who-personified-violence-dies.html?pagewanted=2\">$10 million civil suit against the Oakland Police Department\u003c/a>, alleging they \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-G7HbQX8Qg\">beat him after he was stopped for jaywalking\u003c/a>. He vowed that the money he got would go to build a youth center, and continue the afterschool program work he was doing in Marin with his friend and former manager Leila Steinberg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pac never got $10 million from the OPD. In an \u003ca href=\"http://www.riverfronttimes.com/newsblog/2011/06/16/tupac-shakurs-40th-birthday-lessons-in-police-community-relationships\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">out-of-court settlement\u003c/a>, he barely got enough to pay for his lawyer, but in his death his mother had carried out much of that vision with the center. She talked earnestly about the peace garden and her hopes for many to heal. Whereas the Black Panthers’ plan was for their children (Panther Cubs) to carry out the vision of the Panthers, here we saw Afeni the Black Panther carrying out the vision of her child.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_23775\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 625px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23775\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/enhanced-6058-1462277630-2.jpg\" alt=\"Afeni Shakur is escorted from a police station in New York in1969 after her arrest. \" width=\"625\" height=\"503\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/enhanced-6058-1462277630-2.jpg 625w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/enhanced-6058-1462277630-2-400x322.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Afeni Shakur is escorted from a police station in New York in1969 after her arrest. \u003ccite>(AP)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Afeni also went to great lengths to educate herself and get her son’s music affairs in order.

She set up a record label, Amaru Records, and accomplished the Herculean task of getting the his assets under one roof, preventing them from exploitation by an often unforgiving and cannibalistic music industry.

The truth of the matter was that Afeni was talking about setting up survival programs. She was talking about making sure we as a people would be able to take care of one another, and would not have to be dependent upon a system that did not fully care for far too many of us. That message was an extension of what the Panthers were about, and in many ways, what was core to their existence. People hear “Black Panthers” and think guns and berets, but many people will tell you that what J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI feared most were the party’s survival programs. Afeni was speaking to the party’s legacy, a message she had committed herself to back in 1968.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_23771\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 501px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-23771\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/rosesconcrete-800x264.png\" alt=\"Afeni Shakur visits Roses in Concrete Community School in Oakland.\" width=\"501\" height=\"166\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/rosesconcrete-800x264.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/rosesconcrete-400x132.png 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/rosesconcrete-768x253.png 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/05/rosesconcrete.png 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 501px) 100vw, 501px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Afeni Shakur visits Roses in Concrete Community School in Oakland. \u003ccite>(Photos from Mic.com courtesy of Reena Valvani)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In September of 2015, Afeni Shakur came to Oakland and paid a surprise visit to a new school called \u003ca href=\"http://rosesinconcrete.org/\">Roses In Concrete\u003c/a>, an elementary school with a social justice emphasis, \u003ca href=\"http://mic.com/articles/125029/oakland-elementary-school-uses-tupac-s-poetry-to-help-children-deal-with-ptsd#.H7CoSTx32\">named in honor of her son’s poem and book of the same title\u003c/a>.
