Brenda’s Got A Baby: The Tragic Forgotten Tale That Inspired Tupac’s Legendary Song
An Endless Cycle
Living in the ghettos was hard, and the institutional segregation of Black people confined them to reside in places that were far from savory. Several African-American communities faced prejudice and circumstances that limited them from growing and reaching their potential. The system didn’t work for them, opportunities were limited, and people were angsty and fed up. Violence and pain were common fixtures; poverty made people do horrible things.
