Angela Davis
Davis was associated with a few activist organizations when she was involved in the civil rights struggle, including the SNCC and the Black Panthers. But she gained national attention when she was put on the FBI’s 10 most wanted list for allegedly planning and providing weapons for the escape of George Jackson and other members of the Soledad Brothers; she was acquitted in 1972. Davis has written many books, including Angela Davis: An Autobiography. Today, she teaches in the History of Consciousness department at the University of California, Santa Cruz and speaks regularly on prisoner rights.
