Angela Davis on Running from the FBI, Lessons from Prison and How Aretha Franklin Got Her Free
ฝัง

- democracynow.org - For more than four decades, Angela Davis has been one of most influential activists and intellectuals in the United States. An icon of the black liberation movement, Davis's work around issues of gender, race, class and prisons has influenced critical thought and social movements across several generations. She is a leading advocate for prison abolition, a position informed by her own experience as a prisoner and fugitive on the FBI's top 10 most wanted list more than 40 years ago. Once caught, she faced the death penalty in California. After being acquitted, she has spent her life fighting to change the criminal justice system. Just before the midterm elections, Angela Davis sat down with Amy Goodman in Washington, D.C., at Busboys and Poets to tell her life story.

I love how Aretha never forgot her own no matter how high her star rose. Still hard to believe she`s gone.
Good to see Angela still in the fight after all these years.
❤
More black women should be fighting like her... people like Oprah suck up to white America instead of getting involved and do something real meaningful for Black people.
What a beautiful soul!
ARETHA KNEW THE STRUGGLE SHE HAD TO GO THRU IT TO BEING BLACK THEY NEVER LETBUP ON US RICH OR POOR.
Listen to her song "NATURAL WOMAN"
That is why Aretha Franklin had sooo many outpouring for her send off🕯🎶She sang and lived her convictions💜
Oh yeah we knew the queen had did her part
I dont see no mary j. Blige releasing us imprisoned just to be free me.
Im 68 years old and i remember this era like it was yesterday. This was the age of true principled struggle which i am proud to have been apart of and i still teach these lessons today.
I too was a part of this era and supported the struggle and fight for years. Please please keep teaching, I’m so appalled at how many of my own people don’t know this history. I give books as gifts today on the movements and protesting
@princegobi3 it don't stop till we are free or i pass on because for me it's, E EVERYTHING OR NOTHING, ALL OF US OR NONE. PAMOJA TU TA SHINDA , together we can win. Aluta Contiua, the struggle continues.
.WELL KEEP ON STRUGGLING BRO...if you continue to follow people like this clown..you gonna be strugglin a long time
keep doing the lord's work king
My parents sold our house to a mixed raced couple in 1963 and wemoved a block away. This caused an uproar as the color line of real estate had been broken forever.
This ICON is still prolific. Thank you ma'am, for fighting and suffering to obtain my Human Rights!! 👍🏾❤✊🏾
she is a murderer ...and a zero
@@jadezee6316 what have you fight for or done for your race
prolific indeed! relentless courage
The fight continues
@@jadezee6316 can you take some constructive criticism?... go f#*k yourself.
The more I learn about Angela Davis, the more my eyes are opened to my beloved country's short comings. Bless her. I love her.
Firstly, Angela Davis was history in the making and then living history.Thankfully, she has been lucky to see some fruits of her struggle.The struggle continues!God bless you!
Living Legend
Exactly 💯

Yeah a bed winche she sold out it's a lot of receipts on it she joined Gloria Steinem and the feminist movement and Gloria Steinem. She was a known CIA agent go look it up.
Angela Davis Solid out the move ment she was she was laying with the same CIA agent Gloria Stinom and being a bed winch fuck that bitch.
Philosophy is way more dangerous than people give it credit for!
Eric, even the pen is mightier than the sword:We are governed from Washington DC, formerly Rome Mary Land given by Jesuits to rule and tax the colonies in perpetuity. George Washington sought Catholic relief to wage a revolution against a Protestant King. This Revolution financed by French Rothschild Bonds. Those bonds were foreclosed on in 1877 and by amendment the Constitution was abrogated and we were collateralize as chattel of the Black Nobility banks. George Washington is memorialized in the city baring his name by his Apotheosis and obelisk which mirror those in the Vatican. All seeing eye is a sign of Jesuits exiled from Europe and Asia even by Papal decree. My point being we live on a Roman plantation and there are no sovereign nations. There is a global network of corporate control which are subsidiary Vatican agencies. Rothschild are Knights of Malta, servants of Rome. Khazars or Caesars Bush is the same as Queen of England, dresses up Protestant and kisses the hand of the Pope. Prescott was fascist, Fascism is Roman. Its on our money. Actually Bush is an authentic american. If you realize USA inc. was constructed as a Jesuit safe house.
The Mother of dangerous oaths is the forth vow of the Jesuit oath. The key to history. Papal assertion as vicegerent for a thousand years That is of all lands and souls of man and animal.
is that why Athens fed hemlock to Socrates?
Bruce Campbell You are correct! Why do you think the Pope exited the plane and kissed the ground, then went and spoke before the full Congress?
ONE POPE HAS HISTORICALLY SPOKE BEFORE CONGRESS! WHY?
Anything that make you think is dangerous! That was a dumb comment?
@@davidlangford9107 George Washington was scion of Virginia next to Maryland, or the Virgin Mary. He was an agent of the Virginia Company, subsidiary of the British Dutch East Indies Co. which hails from the City of London. The City of London was given the Papacy by King John as the price of his crown. City of London or the old Roman fort is an autonomous part of London. There reside the Lords of Magna Carta. Though they are loath to share freedom with their own subjects. Washington DC is an autonomous district like the City of London and the Vatican. Its flag has three stars.
Catholics were generally detested during colonial times. Many had come here to flee the Catholic interregnum. The Jesuit order was banned from Europe and Asia by papal decree during Washington's days. America was a Jesuit safe house clothed under the banner of their All Seeing Eye. Jesuits dress a Protestants because their reputation forced them underground. So we have a history of subversion and duplicity. City of London are Lords of their American empire paying duty and tithe to the Papacy.
To answer your question of Papal visitation? Most of our history has been spent in deep suspicion of the Papacy, so they simply did not feel safe nor did they want to open up old wounds. The Papal embassy was banned by Andrew Johnson after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln by Jesuit Agents. That ban was finally lifted by Ronald Reagan. Jesuits now feel safe to reveal themselves to the public.
it’s such a blessing to have her alive and here with us. she’s an american idol!
Yes I love her with my whole heart
She's also an agent. 🤫
I absolutely admire Angela Davis. I learned a ton about her over the summer during one of my school courses and she is just an inspiration to me. I’m so grateful for this interview
I never had the pleasure. Her story was so distorted and controversial. Glad to hear her tell it directly. I love that she still has a sense of humor about it. Amazing.
Oprah could learn something from Aretha.✊
She sold out long ago.
Ophrah has sold out a long,long time ago,and you need to wake up
Oprah a Witch, Pimp and a Sex handler for Hellywood Devil's..😡
The comment I was looking for, thank you!
How to eat more chicken.
Such a great lesson on history and on character and maintaining your morals no matter what the system throws at you! 🙌🏾💜
I humbly Thank you Angela for all of your efforts and sacrifices for the betterment of humanity. Peace & Love ❤️🌸🙏
What about Ruchell Magee he is still in prison. Please Angela he was not acquitted. Please help him, he is 80 years old.
Do you know how to get a petition started?
I never heard of him
@@diodio9494 you've heard of him now
I can't believe she's still alive after all this time. Amazing. Brilliant. Beautiful.
@Ms Hosea I totally concur sister.
Sister Dr. Davis is 76 yrs old. Today ppl are living 80's 90' even 100's. @Cathy E. Sysel needs to be ashamed of her silly self for such silly comment.
My dad died at 72. 70's is very old. Hardly anyone lives to 100. It is amazing she is still around and still so active after all these years. "Death Threat" my ass. You can fuck all the way off, and when you get there fuck off again.
It was the men they wanted dead.
Kyuhhbbbbhyujbbb
Thank you. Brilliant interview. We need more like this.
"The young Black Women ,,,please study &.restudy,,,,,,Angela Davis!!!!
It's the Civil-Rights Activists that deserve to be heard this February instead of the traditional names we're accustomed to hearing about. It's time to expand the pool of people to be honored so others may be touched by their stories. I know we've been making progress but with the state of affairs currently in America, I think this would be a great piece of living History to be brought to others attention.
#WOKE #Civil-Rights
@gary leger Huey P. Newton said it's important to make sure gay people can participate in the revolutionary struggle.
Go away homophobe.
@@stefdelev Newton died like the punk he was..😒😡😎✊
People still brainwashed to celebrate a Damn month for blacks.. Just pathetic..😒😡😎✊
Thank you for reporting that was so beautifully said.
R.i.p Aretha Franklin and God bless all decent folks 🥰🙏🏾🥰
I'm so appreciating reading honest-to-goodness positive comments, mostly free from racism here.
Sharon R I hate to burst your bubble but you need only to look several comments up and check out ole "ernesto" lol
@@frank-tbass4041 well, I guess there's got to be at least 1 douchebag to keep it lively! I think Ernesto needs comforting, and getting responses is his way of pacifying himself.
may be one of them Xmas hug will get it...unno lol..
*Trump is the Best GOD Sent President in ALL of Human History,*

*Cuz Donald Trump, IS a ReaL Genuine Christian & I BeLieve in Jesus & Trump!*
*Only Satan's PeoPle are Opposers of David Dennison!!!*
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I think it might be a stretch to assume that most racists would even know who intellectual and activist Angela Y. Davis is.
Incredible lesson in history that you only learn from people who were making it at the time. You don't have to be "pro" or "anti" the ideas here, there is a lot to learn no matter what side you fall on.
Free all political prisoners from the black liberation movement!
Murder isn't a political crime.
TheIntJuggler boy- 🤦🏾♂️
@@TheIntJuggler the murders committed by Europeans to create this nations, SAYS OTHERWISE. Our national anthem clearly tells you that.
Derek Smith Get over it.
Chi Lioness
Leonard Peltier and all other political prisoners‼️
😁✊Angela Davis ROCKS!! As well as Aretha!! Rock Steady that's right!!
Sister, Ph.D. Angela Davis... is the best of us and greatest of us all.
True Facts!
Yes Doctor !!!!!!
well I like Cornell West too.
I do remember this era so vividly...the Black Panthers, the Soledad Brothers and of course Angela Davis. After she was acquitted of all charges she was asked by a reporter whether she thought it was a fair trial. " A fair trial would would have been no trial at all!".
Then in 1980 meet the legend in person when she attended the UN Women Conference at the University of Nairobi, Kenya. I have treasured that moment till this day!
I really want to see her speak live. Shes like seeing Malcom. What a gem💙🙏🏾
Why is there not a movie, monument, postage stamp? Something for this woman
Bless up both Angela and Aretha Franklin,,,,, may she sleep in heavenly peace!!!
SHE WILL AND SHE IS
It was -------as I now recall------either the summer of '69, or '70, I now am no longer certain which----------that I had the opportunity to see Angela Davis speak, in person, in Denver, Colorado. I went to the Black Panther rally, such as it was at the time, & though I'm not black , I didn't encounter any hostility. I was curious to see this firebrand of black Pride, intellectual ascension, & political activist. -------Now, I must admit., I was also motivated, because Angela was uncommonly beautiful, with a strong & perfect face, surrounded by her Afro Hairdo, & I was very much taken with her. ----------She spoke about 20 minutes, as i recall, in downtown Denver, at the old Zeckendorf Plaza, where I saw Jane Fonda, in '68. -----------Angela was powerful------intense-----brilliant, & yes, beautiful. ---------I'll not forget that day. I was warned by friends that it would be suicide, to go to the rally; as it turned out, there was some trouble, but not directed at me. I kept a low profile, but I got to see this incredible woman. ---------------------------WolfSky9, 73 y/o
I may have listened to Davis.
I'd certainly have punched Fonda.
Still would.
What a great interview - Thank you ladies for the history lesson!
14:10 Well, I wasn’t going to turn myself in....
I died 😭😭😭😭🤣😂😂😂😂What a literal legend
Thank you Amy for this long awaited interview. Thank you Aretha Franklin for you profound love for standing up for your own, R.I.P. Thank you Angela Davis for you unwavering determination to fight and live your truth for justice.
and that is why Aretha Franklin is one of the best ever! 💯 she's much more than just a singer and entertainer. ❤️
Thank you Angela. Thank you Amy. Interviews and docus like these warm my cold heart.
Amy Goodman keep it realer than Ophrah,so you better check out what's really going on in black America
Thank you, Angela Davis, for all you have done and continue to do.
Smart beautiful sister.
14:06 "Well...I wasn't gonna turn myself in!" Amen! Glad Angela is still with us today. What a treasure!
She’s one of my sheroes❤️❤️❤️
I remember being in the Women's House of Detention during 1970 when Angela Davis was there. We were housed in the 11th floor Dorm.I was released on February 9th 1970 btw I was pregnant with my first child at the time.
What were your charges ?
Imagine what it would be like if Angela Davis was president rather than the marmalade Mussolini
Angela as president Amy as vice president.
You’d be working on the collective farm so her and the other leaders could live in luxury
@@dondressel4802 Wow, you're so smart and witty!
What a self facefuck way of saying "nothing would change". Congrats champ.
Dan Dales ...Nope. I like my spacious house I am living in, not a cramped project built by the Government.
I can dig it
This is so interesting.... I am so glad that I'm Black Native Black Woman..... SIP... Queen... Aretha Franklin... God bless you... Angela Davis... Continue to do what you do
Me too
Thanks Amy Goodman ❤😇 you are the BEST🕯☕🎯🎯☮☮💝Angela Davis, PhD stayed the course of her conviction and won!!!😆
That “tiny window” was God.
Yes!
I doubt that. .why would a God allow such evil from the jump ?
And George Jacksons murder? And his brother Jonathan's murder?
Angela is free because movement solidarity freed her,which you'd know if you'd listened?
Much love and respect for this woman here 🙌 🙌
Angela Yvonne Davis.. you're Awesomeee! Thank you for your contribution to the continued struggle
Honor of sharing a birthday with Ms. Angela Davis💜
This was the soothing balm that my soul needed today.
THANK you.
This country is SO koyaanisqatsi-----ESPECIALLY at this time of year.

@@Justaguywithtruth stop being a hater
Foundational blakkk AMERIKKKAN peepls, descendants of AMERIKKKAN slavery 💯
I was a kid back in the 70's I saluted Angela Davis and still salute her today!!!
Malik Love those strong black women
I was a teenager then. My cousin had a poster of Angela Davis on his wall when he came back from Vietnam. My Aunt and Uncle were worried about him. Thought he was radical. But I was curious. After decades it's refreshing to see what a wonderful outcome to see this brilliant woman in a high position in our education system. This is where she truly belongs.
She triumphed over the FBI who tried to destroy her. It still amazes me to see her presence.
A role model for all. Makes my heart glad.
I remember our story. God Bless You.
What a great interview of a great woman!!!
Thank you Angela Davis!
Power to the people...Than k you Democracy now and Amy Goodman, Angela Davis,...the truth will always prevail...The first amendment lives...
This is so powerful what Aretha Franklin said this is how you make America great 👍👌☝️ what Aretha Franklin said about Angela Davis will make America great 😁👍🏼
I'm Only 30 Yrs Old & learning Alot About Our ppl who Fought For Freedom & Racism To End .This Lady Is Amazing & Tupac Shakur Aunt Is Even More Amazing I Hope They Never Find Her .Angela Davis Got Arrested 1 yr Before My Mother Was Born Thank God My Mother Made It ❤
Angela you are my shero since H.S. thanks Angela. Thanks Amy.
genii r commie
Great Aretha. Thanks, Davis.
I'm curious on How Angela Davis feel about the black lives matter movement in 2020.
I love this woman, because of the fight in her . My daughter call me Angela Davis.
Francine I've always fallen for and admired strong fighting women like Ms Davis and you.Most men run from and shun girls with guts please ain't nothing realer.
Such an amazing woman!
I was born in 1958 and grew up during the height of the civil rights movement: Stokely Carmichael, Eldridge Claever, Huey Newon, Angela Davis, H.Rap Brown, Fred Hampton, the Black Panther Movement of the sixties, seventies bringing about a national Black unified movement towards progress and things started to speed up.
So???! 🤔🙄
Hello Angela so good to see u I lived through the era of your incarceration. You are a great American
She help change my heart and thinking back when ...
Her voice and the way she talked grabs you
Both beautiful woman, beyond any words . Thank You Angela Davis. Rip Aretha Franklin.
I learn one thing from this tale: "Never to say a word to the FBI"
I was a little kid and remember protesters outside of the Women's House of Detention in the West Village.
Its August 2020, and 92 sociopaths disliked this video 🤦♀️
This is why Aretha sung Respect and is highly respected .
Can you even imagine the tremendous amount of stress she must have been under??
I know I could imagine they playing with me like they played with her I gained so much weight
My friend was a body guard for Angela.
Lucky friend
Angela and I shared a bottle of wine and laughed at the fbi and their world wide search. We were in Compton CA in Bessie Smith’s house
I met her in the early 80th. She presented her book : Women, Race and Class , at UIC. Angela Davis spoke fluent French and German. She had studied in Paris and Frankfurt ,Germany. She is known all over the world! I saw another interview with her, she was talking about the time she was jailed and facing a death sentence. While in jail she received millions of letters of solidarity from people all over the world. The US Post office had to use trucks to deliver the huge amount of letters. She said , if they had given me the death sentence, at least, I knew , I would not walk alone. All these people walking with me.
I got chills when she said a White farmer offered to put up his farm for her bail.💓💗💞
You got chills!!!! 🙄🤡 houseniggeR please!!!
We need to keep talking about people like Angela Davis while they are still alive!
I ❤️this woman!
RESPECT Queen Aretha.
Solidarity forever Angela and Aretha !
I get alot of education learning about your history. It's so interesting.i admire you. I also loved Aretha Franklin as a beautiful woman as well you.
Congratulations from France.

Thank you 4-ever Legendary Gorgeous Professor civil rights Ms.Angela Davis for sharing your darkness to light on history.
Busboys & Poets! My mom took me there on a visit to see friends in DC, that place is incredible and a fitting spot for Angela Davis for sure.
I applaud and admire Angela beyond words of expression. She is truly history, alone with her followers and the people she worked with and all of them were educated and intelligent. You must organize and educate yourself
WE ALL THANK Angela Davis
Thank you Miss Davis. Thank you very much. Lived in CA, 70S-90s.
I don't her full story. But both of them are impressive
A true legend
Look at the great society her hard work has helped build.
I'm 64, So, I'm Too Young To Have Been Affected By Dr. Davis's Work As A Revolutionary. When I Watch Dr. Davis Now, She Is Electrifying The Tonality Of Her Voice, RIVETING
I knew Angela in the 70s. I was a member of the Joe Hill collective in Napa. I met her with the Rev. Ben. from Wilmington. I was a part of the San Quentin 6 trial drove from Napa most days with my baby Clover to be there. After the trial took the guys who were released horseback riding in the Napa hills. I miss you Angela!
Angela Davis writes good books!
i rem my mother telling me with glee that a communist farmer put up his farm for her....my grandfather was also...Angela was considered a heroine in our home
God has really blessed you Angela give him thanks every moment that you can and we love you for standing up for our people
