Human beings cannot be willed and molded into non-existence.
Angela Davis
Image
Poor people, people of color - especially are much more likely to be found in prison than in institutions of higher education.
Angela Davis
Image
We live in a society of an imposed forgetfulness, a society that depends on public amnesia.
Angela Davis
Image
I would suggest is that in the latter 1990s it is extremely important to look at the predicament of black people within the context of the globalization of capital.
Angela Davis
Image
Prisons do not disappear social problems, they disappear human beings. Homelessness, unemployment, drug addiction, mental illness, and illiteracy are only a few of the problems that disappear from public view when the human beings contending with them are relegated to cages.

Image
I have a hard time accepting diversity as a synonym for justice. Diversity is a corporate strategy.
Angela Davis
Image
The process of empowerment cannot be simplistically defined in accordance with our own particular class interests. We must learn to lift as we climb.

Angela Davis
Image

Angela Davis
Image
I'm no longer accepting the things I cannot change...I'm changing the things I cannot accept.
Angela Davis
Image
Racism cannot be separated from capitalism.
Angela Davis
Image
The idea of freedom is inspiring. But what does it mean? If you are free in a political sense but have no food, what's that? The freedom to starve?
Angela Davis
Image
Radical simply means 'grasping things at the root.'
Angela Davis
Image
I guess I would say first of all that we tend to go back to the 60s and we tend to see these struggles and these goals in a relatively static way.
Angela Davis
Image
Black women have had to develop a larger vision of our society than perhaps any other group. They have had to understand white men, white women, and black men. And they have had to understand themselves. When black women win victories, it is a boost for virtually every segment of society.
Angela Davis

Racism, in the first place, is a weapon used by the wealthy to increase the profits they bring in by paying Black workers less for their work.

I'm involved in the work around prison rights in general.
