More quotes by Angela Davis
Progressive art can assist people to learn what's at work in the society in which they live.
Angela Davis
Yes, I think it's really important to acknowledge that Dr. King, precisely at the moment of his assassination, was re-conceptualizing the civil rights movement and moving toward a sort of coalitional relationship with the trade union movement.
Angela Davis
I have a hard time accepting diversity as a synonym for justice. Diversity is a corporate strategy.
Angela Davis

Angela Davis

Angela Davis
What this country needs is more unemployed politicians.
Angela Davis
A fair trial would have been no trial at all.
Angela Davis
If they come for me in the morning, they will come for you in the night.
Angela Davis
It is important not only to have the awareness and to feel impelled to become involved, it's important that there be a forum out there to which one can relate, an organization- a movement.
Angela Davis
In a sense the quest for the emancipation of black people in the U.S. has always been a quest for economic liberation which means to a certain extent that the rise of black middle class would be inevitable.
Angela Davis
You have to act as if it were possible to radically transform the world. And you have to do it all the time.
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
Racism is a much more clandestine, much more hidden kind of phenomenon, but at the same time it's perhaps far more terrible than it's ever been.
Angela Davis
Well of course I get depressed sometimes, yes I do.
Angela Davis
