  TUPAC SHAKUR 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  Tupac Shakur, also known as 2Pac and Makaveli, was a highly influential American rapper and actor. Born Lesane Parish Crooks, he adopted the name Tupac Amaru Shakur, after the Inca revolutionary. He is considered one of the greatest rappers of all time, known for addressing social injustice and political issues. Tupac's career included successful albums like 2Pacalypse Now, Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z..., Me Against the World, and All Eyez on Me. He also engaged in a public feud with other rappers and had several legal issues. Tragically, he was murdered in a drive-by shooting in 1996. His legacy includes a large body of work, poetry, and activism. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  Tupac Shakur's birth name was Lesane Parish Crooks, but he was renamed Tupac Amaru Shakur at age one. His name was inspired by Túpac Amaru II, a revolutionary descendant of the last Incan ruler. 
    
  Tupac's parents, Afeni Shakur and Billy Garland, were both active members of the Black Panther Party. His mother was tried as part of the Panther 21 criminal trial a month before his birth, but she was acquitted of over 150 charges. 
    
  Tupac's stepfather, Mutulu Shakur, was on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list for four years and was eventually convicted for a 1981 robbery of a Brinks armored truck. His godmother, Assata Shakur, was convicted of murder and is on the FBI Most Wanted Terrorists list after escaping prison. 
    
  Tupac's family moved to Baltimore, Maryland, in 1984, and the block where they lived was later renamed Tupac Shakur Way. While in Baltimore, he was a member of the Young Communist League.

  Rethinking Rescue - Dog Lady and...

  In Los Angeles's most underserved communities, Lori Weise is known as the Dog Lady, the woman who's spent decades caring for people in poverty and the animals that love them. Long before anyone else, Weise grasped that animal and human suffering are inextricably connected and created a new rescue narrative, an enduring safety net empowering pet owners and providing resources to reduce the number of pets coming into shelters. 
   
   
   
  Rethinking Rescue: Dog Lady and the Story of America's Forgotten People and Pets unites the causes of animal welfare and social justice, moving between Weise's story and that of the US rescue movement: from the dog's twentieth-century transition from property to family to the rise of the no kill campaign to stop shelter euthanasia and the contradictions that hampered those efforts. Through captivating storytelling and investigative reporting, Carol Mithers examines the consequences of bias within this overwhelmingly white movement, where an overemphasis on placing animals in affluent homes often disregards pet owners in poverty. Weise's innovative and ultimately triumphant efforts revealed a better way. 
   
   
   
  Rethinking Rescue boldly confronts two of the biggest challenges of our time—poverty and homelessness—in asking the very humane question, Who deserves the love of a pet?
