| | Angela Davis -- one of the leaders of the Black Panther movement in the 1960's. | | | As a black person who is very much opposed to racism, who has devoted most of her life to black liberation and the fight against racism, I think it's extremely important to build bridges across racial boundaries. | | | I could never have imagined that almost 2 million people would be in the country's state and federal prisons and county jails. |
