"From the first time he stepped foot on this stage of the Apollo Theater at 13 years old, before anyone recognized his name, he knew he had the dream to have a star here on the Walk of Fame," said Sekyiwa Shakur, who often took deep breaths between sentences to collect herself. "He defied the distinction between art and activism," said radio personality Big Boy, who emceed the ceremony. He spoke about how Shakur has been remembered with museum exhibits dedicated to the entertainer, including "Tupac Shakur. Wake Me When I'm Free" last year and "All Eyez on Me" at the Grammy Museum in 2015. He'll soon have a stretch of an Oakland street renamed after him.
