Prisons Do Not Disappear Problems, They Disappear

Well I Teach In The History Of Consciousness Department At The University Of California, Santa Cruz. So That's My Primary Work. I Lecture On Various Campuses And In Various Communities Across The Country And Other Parts Of The World.

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.

Obviously There Are Some Organizations That Go Out On The Street And Say We Want An End To The Capitalist System. But Obviously That Is Not Going To Happen As A Result Of Just Assuming That Stance.

As Soon As My Trial Was Over, We Tried To Use The Energy That Had Developed Around My Case To Create Another Organization, Which We Called The National Alliance Against Racist And Political Repression.

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.
