  • Fascinating interview. I leaned in when the interviewer asked about her decision to join the CPUSA. Remember, this is just 2 years from the mass defections of Party members, mostly Black, that included her. But her narrative here about SNCC differs from that in her Autobiography [if I recall]. In her book, she noted the LA SNCC chapter was sort of a renegade chapter, and when HQ in NYC found out there were Communists, like Franklin and Kendra Alexander, in it, both also CPUSA members, they sent someone out to throw out the Communists and disband the chapter. I don't think the barbaric nature of this first world justice system is absorbed by many of our own friends and allies. Angela repeats here how George Jackson was given an indeterminate, 1 year-LIFE sentence for a $70 theft. But she does not highlight enough that the state of California charged her with THREE Capital crimes because a gun she owned was used by someone else to commit a crime when she was not there. The state offered no evidence she directed the incident at the Marin Co. courthouse - because there was no evidence. But the state was eager to put her to death [x3]. We should let that sink in. And this is in California, not Alabama.
  • By the early 1990s or mid-1990s they already had a Malcolm x movie but they completely ignored Angela Davis

  • Angela Davis- a modern left libertarian as important as Chomsky ✊
  • She exudes power, wisdom, but most of ALL. LOVE FOR HER PEOPLE.!! I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE MARRIED A WOMAN JUST LIKE HER WHO'S CONFIDENCE AND SOUL MAKES ANY MAN WANT WHAT SHE HAS TO RUB OFF ON HIM. THEY DON'T MAKE WOMEN LIKE HER AND OTHER WOMEN LIKE IDA B WELLS,FANNIE LOU HAMER,ROSA PARKS AND OF COURSE HARRIET TUBMAN.!! AFTER THAT GENERATION THE MOLD WAS BROKEN.!! THE 60'S.AND 70'S.WE WERE ON THE MOVE I WISH I KNEW WHAT HAPPENED AFTER ALL THE FIGHTING FOR OUR LIVES AND CIVIL RIGHTS,,IT SEEMS LIKE THE BEAUTIFUL ROSE BUSH WE HAD STARTED TO PRODUCE ONLY THORNES.!! BUT THE WOMEN ARE THE KEYS TO A STRONG RACE.!!
