Georgia State Representative Cynthia McKinney has introduced a Bill before the United States Congress that would require the National Archives to establish a “Tupac Amaru Shakur Records Collection.” Modeled after the famed “John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act,” McKinney’s newly-introduced bill would allow public access to privileged details of the late rap superstar’s life and death.
Congresswoman McKinney, the Democratic representative of the 4th District of DeKalb County, Georgia, based her “Tupac Shakur Records Collection Act” on the premise that "all government records related to the life and death of Tupac Amaru Shakur should be preserved for historical and governmental purposes."
Shakur’s legacy continues to live on today, through the formation of the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation (TASF) and its work to fund the ongoing construction of the Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts (TASCA), as well as supporting other youth-oriented and community projects. The Foundation was established by Tupac’s mother, Ms. Afeni Shakur, as a way of realizing her son’s ultimate dream: to provide a safe haven for youths from all backgrounds to learn how to creatively express themselves through the performing arts.
