What an inspiring life. I’ve been reading a lot from Angela Davis the past years, and I’m so glad to have received such an in-depth telling of her early years and earlier activism. We have so much work to do still, and it took my breath away what she accomplished and had to go through at such young ages. Her persistence in the movements for freedom is amazing.
From the stories of her childhood in Jim Crow USA to her time in different jails, courtrooms, and protests, to her studies across the world - every piece fit into a flowing narrative that I never wanted to put down. It took me so long to read only because my library loan was due and the holds list was long! I’m glad others are just as interested. I can’t wait to read her new collection.
