Miss Angela Davis, Activist & Revolutionary
Born on January 26, 1944, in Birmingham, Alabama, Angela Davis grew up in ‘Dynamite Hill’, a middle-class neighborhood which was notorious for racial conflict. Its name was given after many African American homes in the area were bombed by the Ku Klux Klan.
Davis attended segregated schools and became an activist for civil rights from a young age. As a teenager, she used to organize interracial study groups, which were often broken up by the police.
Angela worked hard to transform a strict system and the rigid thinking of others. As part of her impressive work on prisoner rights, Davis co-founded Critical Resistance — an organization that aims to end the prison industrial complex. She has also wrote several books on race, class, and women’s rights, including Women, Culture & Politics.
