"Dear Mama: The Saga of Afeni and Tupac Shakur," a five-part docuseries that explores the lives of the late Afeni Shakur and her late son Tupac, the rapper, actor, poet and political visionary, is set to premiere on FX and stream on Hulu. The series moves between the 1970s and 1990s to tell the story of Tupac and the woman who so powerfully shaped him, connecting hip-hop with Black activism and “the struggle for human rights.” Afeni Shakur’s voice would plant the seed for her son’s voice and his music, which cried out against injustice with lyrics that still resound worldwide.
