Angela Davis in conversation with Poulomi Saha: I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free: Movements for Liberation and Transfigurations of Freedom
About
Activist, author, educator, and cultural icon Angela Davis has been a leading force in the Black liberation, feminist, queer, and prison abolitionist movements for more than 65 years. Thrust into the national spotlight in the 1970s when she appeared on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list and was subsequently imprisoned, Davis then became the focus of the international “Free Angela Davis” campaign. In the decades since, she has remained at the forefront of movements for racial and social justice—as a professor in the History of Consciousness Program at UC Santa Cruz; as an activist involved with numerous social justice organizations; as a public speaker across the globe; and as the author of 11 influential books, including Women, Race, and Class ; Freedom is a Constant Struggle ; and Abolition: Politics, Practices, Promises, Volume 1 .
