Angela Davis interviews civil rights leader and scholar Angela Davis
I have lived my life with a famous name, but I’ve never met the woman who made the name synonymous with Black power and intellect.
Listen to my long-awaited interview with Angela Davis — the civil rights leader, feminist, scholar and prison abolition advocate.
Davis earned international fame when she was on the FBI’s Most Wanted list in 1970. She was later acquitted of the charges against her.
Fifty years later, she was named one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2020.
