Today in Labor History April 6, 1781: Tupac Amaru II was captured in Peru after being denounced by a turncoat. He led a large Andean uprising against the Spanish in Peru. As a result, he became a hero in the Peruvian struggle for independence and the indigenous rights movement. The Tupamaros revolutionary movement in Uruguay (1960s-1970s) took their name from him. As did the Túpac Amaru Revolutionary guerrilla group, in Peru, and the Venezuelan Marxist political party Tupamaro. The American rapper, Tupac Amaru Shakur, was also named after Tupac Amaru II. Chilean poet, Pablo Neruda, wrote a poem called “Tupac Amaru (1781).” And Clive Cussler’s book, “Inca Gold,” has a villain who claims to be descended from the revolutionary leader.

Tara Moses, a citizen of the Seminole Nation with Muscogee (Creek) heritage, didn’t expect to get into theater growing up. As a child, she mostly saw theater as an escape from being the only Indigenous kid she knew at school in Tulsa. She had no idea that her after school activities at the Tulsa Spotlight Theatre would lead to a career, let alone lead her to direct a play at the historic Springer Opera House.
