Abstract
Born in 1944 in Birmingham, Alabama, Angela Davis was raised in a segregated environment which greatly influenced her fight against economic, gender, as well as racial injustices. During her early life she witnessed the evolution of The Civil Rights Movement and, due to experiencing and seeing oppression and racial injustice firsthand, later herself became a significant part of it. Davis was academically ambitious as she completed her studies abroad and at prestigious universities such as... More Brandeis University, eventually earning a doctorate in philosophy. She is best known for her radical activism. Her early political participation includes joining the youth group Advance, and after that eventually the Communist Party as well as the Black Panther Party. While working with these parties she often fought for wrongly imprisoned or falsely accused black people which led to her imprisonment. She was also listed as one of the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives in 1970. Davis often mentions The Communist Manifesto as a work which greatly influenced her political opinions and activism. She condemns inaction and urges people to fight for their rights and equality. During her life, she wrote many important works, one of which is Women, Race and Class, a book that explores intersectionality, especially concerning Black women. Due to her being an intersectional feminist, her ideas apply to everyone no matter of their gender, sexual orientation, social status, race, and physical abilities. Angela Davis became a symbol of resistance after her famous arrest and trial, winning the sympathy of many activists and intellectuals around the world. She continues to be a vocal advocate for prison abolition. According to her, the system is not serving its purpose and is doing harm to people. Less
