Pac stood up, and it’s the first thing you heard him say in like, two weeks of court. ‘You know, your honor, throughout this entire court case, you haven’t looked me or my attorney in the eye once. It’s obvious that you’re not here in the search for justice, so therefore, there’s no point in me asking for a lighter sentence. I don’t care what you do cause you’re not respecting us, this is not a court of law; as far as I’m concerned, no justice is being served here, and you still can’t look me in the eye. So I say, do what you wanna do, give me whatever time you want, because I’m not in your hands, I’m in God’s hands.

World War II propaganda poster (1943). Mexico declared war on the Axis powers on May 22, 1942, days after two of its oil tankers, Potrero del Llano and Faja de Oro, were destroyed by German U-boats in the Gulf of Mexico. While some Mexican troops fought alongside US troops against the Japanese in the Phillipines towards the end of the war, Mexico’s main contribution to the war effort was the enactment of the Bracero Program, a guest worker program which eventually sent hundreds of thousands of Mexican men to work in the United States during its two decade-long history.
