ITEM OVERVIEW
First published in 1974, when Angela Davis was 28, this is as fine a memoir of the 60s and 70s as you'll find. More than that, its a journey from a childhood on Dynamite Hill in Birmingham, Alabama to one of the most significant political trials of the 20th century; from political activity in a New York high school to the Soledad brothers; from the faculty of the Philosophy Dept. at UCLA to the FBI's list of the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives. A powerful and commanding story told with warmth, brilliance, humor, and conviction. And with a new introduction by the author.
