REVOLUTIONARY DAVIS SPEAKING FROM PRISON
In 1970, Black Power movement activist and philosopher Angela Davis became only the third woman ever to be placed on the FBI’s ten most-wanted list. She was accused of supplying weapons used in a deadly courthouse shoot-out during the trial of three Black Panther Party members, known as the Soledad Brothers.
After 16 months behind bars she was acquitted, but not before giving this interview. She was asked if the organisation had to use confrontation to achieve its goals. Davis gave this stunning response, explaining Africans in America have suffered aggression since 'the first Black person was kidnapped from the shores of Africa.' And she went on to describe how she’d witnessed it first hand, growing up in the violent US neighbourhood of Birmingham. It was dubbed 'Dynamite Hill' due the frequency it was bombed and attacked by the Ku Klux Klan and other White supremacist groups.
Davis is now 79 years old and has campaigned tirelessly against the oppression of the Black community and for prisoners’ rights. It’s been a life-long drive for justice, as the clip demonstrates.
