53 years ago in Oakland, civil rights pioneers Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale created the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense to protect African-American neighborhoods from police brutality. They literally put their lives on the line to protect their families and community so today we thank them for all that they did.

23 years ago today we lost the best rapper to ever do it. No one before @2Pac encapsulated our ups, downs, pains & struggles, and joy like Pac could. He made us FEEL. There's no way we can pay you back but the plan is to show you that we understand.
