Description
Angela Davis first came to national attention in 1969 when she was removed from her teaching position at UCLA because of her membership in the Communist Party. In 1970, she was placed on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List and was the subject of an intense police search culminating in one of the most publicized trials in recent history. After a 16-month incarceration, Davis was acquitted. In 1998, she helped to organize a national conference at UC Berkeley, 'Critical Resistance: Beyond the Prison Industrial Complex'. Her books include The Angela Davis Reader and Blues Legacies and Black Feminism.
