Says arts can save children
(AP) — Afeni Shakur was in a
cocaine haze in 1990 when she heard
that her son’s rap career was taking
off.
“I was in the heyday of using,”
she says. “Someone told me that
Tupac was on ‘The Arsenio Hall
Show,’ and I thought they were
lying.”
That’s when Afeni realized co­
caine was ruining her life. She had
lost track of her son - a tough feat
considering that all eyes were about
to be on Tupac.
Afeni kicked her habit, and by
the time Tupac was killed in 1996
at the height o f his fam e, they had
rekindled their relationship. Now
A fen i’s life is consum ed with
keeping T upac’s legacy alive -
and her latest effort is the June 11
g ran d o p e n in g o f the T upac
Amaru Shakur C enter for the Arts
in A tlanta, Ga.
The $4 million project is focused
on helping at-risk youth. It revolves
around a six-acre campus in the
Atlanta suburb of Stone Mountain
that includes an art gallery, re­
hearsal area, offices, gift shop and
a “peace garden,” There are plans
to add a museum, community meet-
ing space and classrooms. A bronze
statue of Tupac will be unveiled in
one of the peace garden’s foun­
tains in September.
The idea for the center came
from a sad chapter o f A feni' s his­
tory. As she bounced from New
York City to Baltimore to C alifor­
nia, falling deeper into drugs and
the Black Panther m ovem ent, she
enrolled young Tupac in several
arts schools and program s, where
he honed the natural musical and
acting gifts that would make him
a hip-hop icon.
“Arts can save children, no mat­
ter what’s going on in their homes,”
Afeni, 58, told The Associated Press
inarecent interview. “I wasn’tavail-
able to do the right things for my
son. If not for the arts, my child
would’ve been lost.”
