GA Representative Proposes Tupac Bill To US Congress
In the hopes of allowing the public access to details surrounding the life and death of Tupac Shakur, including government records, Georgia State Representative Cynthia McKinney has created the "Tupac Shakur Records Collection Act."
The bill is set to go before Congress and would require the National Archives to create a "Tupac Amaru Shakur Records Collection." Inspired by the "John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act," Congresswoman McKinney, the Democratic representative of the 4th District of DeKalb County, Georgia, based the 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 was killed in September 1996 in a Las Vegas, NV drive-by shooting. Considered by many to be one of the greatest rappers of all time, Tupac's legacy includes outselling all other Hip-Hop artists, even after his death.
Shakur's memory continues to live on today, through the formation of the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation (TASF) and the Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts (TASCA). The institutions were established by Pac's mother, Afeni Shakur, and are both located in McKinney's district; Stone Mountain, GA.
