The students call Shakur “an icon of resistance within oppressed communities (who) represents Black resilience in the face of unadulterated state-sanctioned violence.”

Pet peeve - upper case letter "B" in the word "black". It is a color, an adjective, it gets lower case letters. By the way, I've seen FReepers do it.

I remember reading an article years ago discussing the difference between Black and black.

The short version of the story is that 'black' means one of the negro race, and 'Black' is more of a cultural adjective.
