Angela Davis
We know the road to freedom has always been stalked by death.
Angela Davis
Our leaders were assassinated, one of the things I was reading today was - 28 Panthers were killed by the police but 300 Black Panthers were killed by other Panthers just within - internecine warfare. It just began to seem like we were in an impossible task given what we were facing.

Angela Davis
As soon as I got out of jail, as soon as my trial was over, first of all, during the time I was in jail, there was an organization called the National United Committee to Free Angela Davis, and I insisted that it be called National United Committee to Free Angela Davis and All Political Prisoners.
Angela Davis

Angela Davis
If they come for me in the morning, they will come for you in the night.
Angela Davis
It's true that it's within the realm of cultural politics that young people tend to work through political issues, which I think is good, although it's not going to solve the problems
Angela Davis
It is essential to resist the depiction of history as the work of heroic individuals
Angela Davis
