Angela Davis (born 1944) is a leading voice for women of color. After growing up in segregated Birmingham, Alabama, she left the South and earned a doctorate. Inspired by the Black Power movement, she joined the Black Panther Party.
Davis was arrested as an accessory to a courtroom shootout that left a judge and three others dead. Her imprisonment inspired a movement to “Free Angela,” before she was acquitted.
Davis is also a leader in the movement to abolish prisons.
