a brief bio - Angela Davis is known internationally for her ongoing work
to combat all forms of oppression in the U.S. and abroad. Over the years
she has been active as a student, teacher, writer, scholar, and
activist/organizer ... it was not until 1969 that she came to national
attention after being removed from her teaching position in the
Philosophy
Department at UCLA as a result of her social activism and her membership
in the Communist Party, USA.  In 1970, she was placed on the FBI's Ten
Most Wanted List on false charges, and was the subject of an intense
police search that drove her underground, and that culminated in one of
the most famous trials in recent U.S. history.  During her sixteen-month
incarceration, a massive international "Free Angela Davis" campaign was
organized, leading to her acquittal in 1972 ...

Former California Governor Ronald Reagan once vowed that Angela Davis
would never again teach in the University of California system.  Today,
she is a *tenured* professor in the History of Consciousness Department
at
the University of California, Santa Cruz :-) :-) :-)
