It’s funny you should say that because my daughter was mistaken for a young lady that looks absolutely nothing like her. The only similarities was they both had braids. They had different skin tones and different eye colors. The way they speak was different. My daughter has a Midwestern accent, and the other young lady’s parents are from a country over in Africa, and she has a slight accent from her parents’ country. But I guess in Tennessee they sound the same. My daughter wear glasses and the other young lady didn’t. But the cop at the high school swore up-and-down my daughter was this young lady.

I’m sure that she would love to hear from you. You have an interesting story. I was stationed in Germany in the military myself in the late 70s and I really became familiar with Angela Davis as I was a serious reader when it came to information about our people. I was born into a family that had membership in the Nation of Islam since about two years before I was born and my Mother made a practice of giving me books to read and I continued read whenever I could even in the military. When I read a book about George Jackson and the Soledad Brothers it highlighted Professor Angela Davis and how she came to be listed on the FBI’s Most Wanted list. I also saw a movie at the movie theater on the military base called “Brothers” I think. It was about George Jackson and the Soledad Brothers and Angela Davis. I hope that you eventually get in touch with her. I’m sure that she will love to hear from you. Peace!!

We just need to take control of the state away from the wealthy and put it under the control of the working class.

They then demonstrate truly sociopathic behaviors in order to force other groups to conform to their standards. It's a pretty toxic trait in European societies and their descendants that they really need to address if we are going to have a world where people can prosper regardless of what they look like.

If you don't know, in 1973 a legitimately elected socialist president was ousted by a military coup supported by the USA government, and our little, chaotic but hopeful social revolution became 16 years of dictatorship and changed the country into a capitalist heaven...

6:33 to the children who were guided by their teacher to write such letters to Dr. Davis comes the appropriate response from another teacher by the name of Jane Elliot who sought a way to explain to her class why Dr. King was murdered and in essence what Dr. Davis was fighting against: She created the Brown Eyed/Blue Eyed demonstrative teaching method which gave the class a first hand lesson in how prejudice can be so easily created and a follow up conversation ensued and also again as adults. It is the same with a teacher as it is with a book or any factual information: It is either used to build up or tear down. Your spirit determines your intentions.

I was the only person in my US Army unit with an afro. They use to try to hassle me about it, but I knew the regulations. Tampered off the ears and necks, no colors, and can still properly wear headgear.

Angela Davis was the Queen that kept many of us Queens in the uk strong in the race of oppression,and discrimination, this activist Angela Davis gave birth to a nation of women that were radical, to stand for equality,and fight against a racist system like it was in the uk not just in the us, she was always more than her fro, Great to see her a real legendary freedom fighter .👑👊🏽❤️

In spite of the changes that came out of the fifties sixties and seventies, the names and faces have changed but the struggles remains identical to our collective past history. As long as populations not just in this country, but in communities around the globe are being disenfranchised by economics, corporate greed or a ruling political party, there will continue to be micro revolutions, history grantees it. I cannot envision a point in time that I will see prosperity and inclusion for all! I'm in my seventies so time is of the essence, hope is a dream of unfulfillment, but still!

The truth is J Edgar Hoover wanted to be the great Ms. Davis, as history shows. Do the research.

Heavy Gratitude. Ps I use to work for the Landscaping Department in the early 2000s and mowed the lawns at that Marin County Civic Center ( designed by Frank Lloyd Wright). The Court house is inside the Civic Center. Pps The 1970s were amazingly radical.

Thanks for this. I think it also underscores that other aspect of a racist society, that Black hair is political. It shouldn't be, but it is, and the recent struggles to pass the CROWN Act underscore that some 50 years later, the white gaze is still hostile towards towards Black hair. I think that is something that is lost. Natural hair is political because white people made it so. Otherwise it would have just been a style preference.

This is more than an afro. The way black people had/have to fight for truth, rights and justice in this country is disheartening. (It'll always be for me"Black Power"!)

Well if that is true, and now with clear hindsight, the Soviets were way ahead of their time.
