I wish the owner of this page who posted this would correct the historical record. Davis was never a member of the BPP. She was a supporter. She was a member, like her parents and their friends, of the CPUSA [Communist Party USA]. I belabor this point because everyone but especially Africans in the diaspora must come to understand the role the CPUSA played in the civil rights movement. Davis first became affiliated with the CPUSA during her high school years when she joined its youth group, Advance. She found some of the gender dynamics problematic with other groups, which is why she did not fully join and stuck with the CPUSA as an adult graduate student at UC San Diego [before she was hired/fired at UCLA].
that woman is a legend, whether she was a panther, or a communist, respect to the legend.
I agree! *especially because she was a panther.
Yeah the questionning should have been done in a much more respectful manner. He should have asked questions about her work as an academic.
She was never a member of the Black Panther Party.
what date was this broadcast on tv? And on what channel?
Angela Davis, who grew up in Bull Connor's Birmingham, is rooted in the Black Liberation Struggle. But she also sees that struggle as part of the universal struggle for freedom
I love that afro Ms. Davis
On August 5, 1970, Angela Davis purchase three guns including a shotgun.On August 7, 1970, seventeen year old Jonathan Jackson brought a satchel containing those three three guns, into the Marin County Hall of Justice, where Judge Haley was presiding over the trial of San Quentin inmate James McClain. Once inside, Jackson drew an automatic gun, and, aided by McClain and Black Panther inmates Ruchell Magee and William A. Christmas, took Judge Haley as well as Deputy District Attorney Gary Thomas and three female jurors hostage. Jackson and the other kidnappers fled with the hostages. Responding police fired on the van that Jackson was driving. During the shootout, Jonathan Jackson, inmate Christmas, inmate McClain, and judge Haley were killed, while inmate Magee and attorney Thomas were seriously injured. Angela Davis has maintained that she had no idea how the guns came to be used in the kidnapping. Angela had also been in communication with Jonathan Jackson's brother a prisoner that Jonathan requested be released during the kidnapping.

The key words she used were that her influences were "generational" and that they "needed to go further" - Respectfully, MLK, Jr (R.I.P.) and his ideals were far less relevant at this point in history...which partially led to the development of the Black Panther Party
she was a good person and I will have some good news
what good News?
What I want is for you to walk in the shoes of an African American living in America. Do you think you can do that? If not, don't make ignorant statements like "You live in America right? How much more equality do you want?"
I agree with reforming the prisons system it's a disaster.
Angela advocates for prison ABOLITION, which is much different than reform.
This guy is not a great interviewer considering he is a university professor himself. His questions are rather naive.
you must be smart.
Why would i want to walk around for a day in Africa when I can just go outside my apartment in atlanta ga?

You live in America right? How much more equality do you want?
