| This is a picture from Angela Yvonne Davis court date February 23, 1972. |
Angela Davis was born on January
26, 1944 in Birmingham, Alabama, U.S. Ms. Davis was born to Frank and Sallye
Davis. Her both parents were college graduates and worked as school teachers.
She mind was such a jewel and she was so smart they tried to shut her down but
they couldn't. Angela was one of the most known faces in the 60s and 70s. She
was apart of The Black Panthers Party,
which is an organization (originally the
Black Panther Party for Self-Defense) was an African-American revolutionary
socialist organization active in the United States from 1966 until 1982. The
Black Panther Party achieved national and international notoriety through its
involvement in the Black Power movement and U.S. politics of the 1960s and
1970s. It was originally founded in Oakland, California by two gentlemen by the
names of Huey Newton and Bobby Seale on October 15, 1966; the organization
initially set forth a doctrine calling primarily for the protection of
African-American neighborhoods from police brutality. Angela has a powerful mind
and the government wanted to shut her up and so they pressed charges on her
which made appear “America’s Most Wanted”. Across the nation, thousands of
people who agreed with her declaration began organizing a liberation movement.
In New York City, black writers formed a committee called the Black People in
Defense of Angela Davis. By February 1971 more than 200 local committees in the
United States and 67 in foreign countries worked to liberate Angela Davis from
prison. Thanks, in part, to this support, in 1972 the state released her from
county jail. After spending 18 months behind bars, Davis was acquitted of all
charges by an all-white jury.
