Facebook post from Kakuya Shakur, Assata Shakur's daughter who was born in prison:

At approximately 1:15 PM on September 25th, my mother, Assata Shakur, took her last earthly breath. Words cannot describe the depth of loss that I am feeling at this time. I want to thank you for your loving prayers that continue to anchor me in the strength that I need in this moment. My spirit is overflowing in unison with all of you who are grieving with me at this time.

Sending much love and appreciation to you all,

Kakuya Shakur
