June 4, 1972 Angela Davis acquitted by an all-white jury. An important date that speaks to the possibility of interracial understanding. This year, on that date, it will be 50 years since that nationally important event.
@@joehalliday6081 Boy, I would really like to hear what some of them had to say afterward.

@@rr7firefly yes, educated and articulate. Some would say an excellent speaker and inspiring. Yet, there hasn’t been much change. The same problems exist 50 years later. So, in my view her effect is dismissible. Same crap different day/decade.
@@joehalliday6081 It's enormously frustrating, but there is value in informing the public about certain issues. Change occurs at a glacial pace, if it occurs at all. People like Davis have an effect on people's minds and their hearts. That can influence and inspire them to get involved in solving our most urgent problems. But there are powerful forces working in the opposite direction -- preserving the status quo that favors the rich and those who do their bidding (insert you favorite villain politician here). Everyone who works for social justice and environmental causes is on the hit list for intimidation or threats of physical harm. Even Greta Thunberg gets pretty scary letters and phone calls because of her message. Does that mean we give up? That is for us each to decide.
She is currently a professor in LA I believe. One day while walking down the hall she was accosted by a younger faculty member; They spoke briefly. The conversation having ended, the young teacher walked in the opposite direction from Ms. Davis. As the younger teacher approaches a class doorway, she is met by a much older bespectacled male professor who happened to witness the encounter between she and Ms. Davis. He says to her "Do you know who that is"? She answers with a queer smile, "Yeah, that's Ms Davis." He says, "Yes, that's Ms Davis but do you know her past?" Not waiting for a reply and with a hearty laugh, he jokingly suggests that if she didn't want the FBI eyeing her every move, she should limit her contact with Ms Davis. LOL.LOL
the country is great and that is why millions are coming in every year. losers and criminals want everything free, so they resort to dealing drugs,looting, car breaksins etc. This woman is a crook for blaming others while not taking responsibiluty for their shortcomings and lack of will to put in the hard work to get ahead in life.
@@kanank13 She's a typical American Fraud, uses all of the country's freedoms for her own selfish needs, but then condemns the country at every corner, SMH I don't know how anyone can listen to one word she says? Those are not endearing "Qualities".
I literally bumped into her once on campus at San Francisco State University! We were both rounding a corner in opposite directions outside the cafeteria and met in shock with two big smiles at our intense momentum, clashed with laughter and recognition and apologies from each of us. A lovely, intelligent woman; an inspiring speaker I’ve had the opportunity to hear in person on campus at Michigan State. Our brief meeting, a blessed gift!
Thank you Ms. Angela Davis for always speaking the truth about what is happening in America. You have been saying 50 yes ago we still have the same issue racial injustice, lack of criminal justice reform, white Suppremecy. The fight for equality and our freedom is still going on. You are a true American Patriot Ms. Davis for always speaking what is true.
angela davis family where White & also among the first white settlers who came over to america on the mayflower who then stole land of native americans. so angela family where among the orignial white settlers who basically started slavery off yet your over here celebrating this women. :/ im confused.
What "white supremacy"? Are you talking about Angela Davis' recent DNA results that reveal that she has slavemasters in her family tree? Is that the hero you seek?
@@dennisg4053 Angela Davis was tried and ACQUITTED of those charges (by an ALL-WHITE JURY YET)! But you keep believing that she's guilty. Would you believe that if she were WHITE? I don't think so. You're like those people who still believe that O.J. Simpson was guilty, even though he too was acquitted. Since then, he was constantly harassed and vilified, with people calling him "murderer" right to his face. Then the families of the two victims, his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, sued him for the "damages" he allegedly inflicted on them, even though it was like putting him on trial again after he was already found not guilty, which would have been a violation of the "Double Jeopardy" clause of the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. Of course, it didn't matter to the people who filed this suit, just so long as they could say "We got O.J. Simpson." Incredibly enough, they actually won. On top of that, Ron Goldman's father, Fred Goldman, has been howling for Simpson's blood for nearly three decades. He even offered the former football player a large amount of money if he would just confess to the murders, but Simpson turned it all down. Maybe he had nothing to confess to. It's never occurred to anyone that the verdict in the Simpson trial was correct, that the accused was found not guilty because HE WAS NOT GUILTY! Similarly, it's never occurred to you, Dennis, that Angela Davis was also acquitted because he deserved to be acquitted, that she was innocent of all wrongdoing, or that she was framed for the crimes she was accused of because certain people didn't like her leftist politics, or because she was always vigorously speaking out against racism and against the system that she felt was perpetuating racial injustice, or perhaps even because of the color of her skin. I consider myself a liberal, but I'll admit that there were times when I felt that Davis went too far with her radical rhetoric, and I wasn't quite comfortable with her being a Communist. But even so, that's no reason for her (or anybody else for that matter) to be punished for a crime she probably never committed. That is NOT justice!
Learning from history! Excellent point Angela ! PROGRESSIVE Democrat here! I have always admired Thomas Paine. The author of COMMON SENSE! Paine wanted to free the slaves and give women the right to vote in 1776! I took an Advanced History class in the 1970's. Paine's book was NOT listed on the recommended reading list so I read it on my own. After finishing that book I thought "No wonder they didn't want us to read this book!" It was a very ,very ,very PROGRESSIVE book! Corporate Democrats / Republican Lite and Republicans are ALL owned by Corporations! They enjoy the status quo. That is exactly why nothing changes for the better in the USA. Mark Twain once said "If voting made any difference, they wouldn't let us do it"! I always vote but I have very low expectations of any real positive change! Follow the $$$$$$! Always follow the $$$$$ in the USA!
Angela Davis (1944-, Planet Earth)- “When someone asks me about violence, I just find it incredible, because what it means is that the person who’s asking that question has absolutely no idea what black people have gone through, what black people have experienced in this country, since the time the first black person was kidnapped from the shores of Africa.”
And sadly many do not know what the native people of the North American continent have experienced either. I still like the words of the song 'If you can't go on any longer, take the hand held out by your brother, every victory going to bring another - carry it on, carry it on.' We can do it if we take each person by our side with us, no matter the colour of their skin, no matter their age, no matter their physical abilities or inabilities - we do it together. Thank you, Angela.
Were black African’s the kidnappers? Were white traders the middlemen? Has anyone examined the fortunes made by the black African kidnappers and the money they received from the middlemen?
@Joe Halliday you’re hilarious. Have you ever been on a rez? I have many times. Many natives don’t have running water, electricity, etc. Money gets stolen at the top and the people at the bottom get nothing or just a crumbs. Grow up dude.

Or do you like oppressing yourself? You’re joking if you think you can blame your problems on “white” people. How do you feel about African American taxpayers having to pay for the handouts to tribes?
The interviewer did not ask the very important questions like when she talked about abolition, why did she not ask what happens when somebody actually does something very very very unforgivable even in the most perfect Society.
She didn't mean an immediate declaration abolishing prisons. She was talking about the hope that if society did a better job of supporting those at risk, there wouldn't be a need for prisons, and what changes she believes would make it possible. Personally, I agree with you that it's unrealistic at best.
Back in the late 89’s/early 90’s I was fed a heavy dose of the same kumbayah stuff while in college. Fortunately I graduated, got off the campus, and wised up. Sadly there are a lot of other people who might graduate, but never really leave the campus. Davis chose to immerse herself in Communism, going so far as studying/ earning a degree in East Germany.
Take a moment to think... The stated prison objectives of punishment and rehabilitation Can be met Outside of the prison industrial complex. That Does Not Mean setting loose dangerous offenders that threaten public safety. It Could Mean smaller locked down facilities. It could mean separating offenders based on their crimes and monitoring them electronically. There are many ways to do this better. There used to be debtor's prison. That practice was reformed. The same could be done with a lot of other offenses.
@@debbiegum2226And you chose to not pay attention to what she said in this interview regarding communism. Fortunately, most other people have better comprehension skills than you.

DECADES ago she was found Not Guilty by an ALL WHITE jury. I think she's entitled to a soft ball interview. Honestly, I do not have a certain view of her. But, facts are facts.
Actually, Dr. Angela Davis was not a member of the Black Panther Party, although she did support them. Just like Mumia wasn't a MOVE member, he was in support of the organization.
Douglass High School Class of '73 here; Angela is my spiritual big sister, and her generation was a big reason for my Afrocentricity, which has literally saved my soul throughout the years. I have true friends of all races who have not required me to compromise on my blackness in order to be accepted as a human being. To all whites who fear those like me, I would suggest to you to examine your consciences to find where that fear comes from, and come to terms with that fear before you meet God.
She don't have to change one word out of her speech back in the 70's, just play the tape, and dated 2022, no one would know the different, nothing have changed.
Our prison system needs to move to the Norwegian system. She has dedicated her life to abolishing prison. There is a reason we have prisons. Saying we don't need them is idealistic nonsense.

Thank you Mrs Davis for your life long fight for freedom and justice an all around great black woman an the fight still continues may God continue to bless you.thank you

In researching Ms Angela Davis, I learned so much more. AND I HAVE 2 SHIRTS WITH HER IMAGE ON THEM. JESUS CHRIST led Ms Davis to open young minds & learn more of our movement. THANK YOU DOCTOR ANGELA DAVIS FOR YOUR STRENGTH, DETERMINATION, WISDOM, INTELLECT, SACRIFICE, HOPE, & LIBERTY FOR ALL😇👍
No prisons? Come on, Angela! That is absurd. Prison reform is absolutely on the table and there are Federal judges who are joining together to look at alternatives to incarceration--judges who do a powerful voices and can make alternative sentencing happen. In fact, I work with one of them and he is doing amazing work. But no prisons is never going to happen - nor should it. But alternative sentencing can and will succeed. I have known of you since my teenage years and applaud your fight but you need to get up to speed! I would suggest you look to Bryan Stevenson who has done so much and will continue to further advance the conversation regarding justice for the black community and incarceration. Your message, Angela, seems, at this point, stale.
It was a while ago since I saw that program, so I might misremember, but wasn't she already aware of her part Caucasian ancestry? The Mayflower connection is what seemed to floor her somewhat. I didn't read her reaction as dislike, more surprise because she really didn't expect that. Wouldn't that be a big revelation for _anyone_ tracing back their ancestry?
The similarities of crimes against Blacks by some in law enforcement from the day of Angela and before and the present, never went away. That is why there should be "Reparations".

John, it would have been a lot more than that if generational wealth had not taken away from some high achieving black people like it was from the people who lived in Tulsa, OK in 1921. The people who lived there had everything destroyed over night by envious white people.
Agreed ❤ some live in the ideals that they had to fight with in their youth and never acknowledge the progress that was made. Thank god she did what she did but I wish could some light.
She was the light when I was young. We had no choice to speak out. There protest all the time and I prayed that my uncle and cousin would be safe. Look at what's going on today evil and hatred persist today but out in the open. Now I am praying for all my family and others for their safety. trump made it okay to hate out in the open now they're are taking over our government. What ever happens to us will bleed over to everyone life's. Keep hoping and praying.

It's good to see you Angela. I recall when we were all young, beautiful, energetic, and idealistic. We're old sages now. But, the fires of change still burn in our hearts. Yes! We remember your courage.
Age doesn't make you less beautiful. Not you. Not Dr Davis. That's just cultural programming in a world obsessed with youth (or at least young appearance). Stay beautiful and strong 🖤

Angela Davis was tried and ACQUITTED of those charges (by an ALL-WHITE JURY YET)! But you keep believing that she's guilty.
Would you believe that if she were WHITE? I don't think so.
You're like those people who still believe that O.J. Simpson was guilty, even though he too was acquitted. Since then, he was constantly harassed and vilified, with people calling him "murderer" right to his face. Then the families of the two victims, his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, sued him for the "damages" he allegedly inflicted on them, even though it was like putting him on trial again after he was already found not guilty, which would have been a violation of the "Double Jeopardy" clause of the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. Of course, it didn't matter to the people who filed this suit, just so long as they could say "We got O.J. Simpson." Incredibly enough, they actually won. On top of that, Ron Goldman's father, Fred Goldman, has been howling for Simpson's blood for nearly three decades. He even offered the former football player a large amount of money if he would just confess to the murders, but Simpson turned it all down. Maybe he had nothing to confess to.
It's never occurred to anyone that the verdict in the Simpson trial was correct, that the accused was found not guilty because HE WAS NOT GUILTY!
Similarly, it's never occurred to you, Dennis, that Angela Davis was also acquitted because he deserved to be acquitted, that she was innocent of all wrongdoing, or that she was framed for the crimes she was accused of because certain people didn't like her leftist politics, or because she was always vigorously speaking out against racism and against the system that she felt was perpetuating racial injustice, or perhaps even because of the color of her skin.
I consider myself a liberal, but I'll admit that there were times when I felt that Davis went too far with her radical rhetoric, and I wasn't quite comfortable with her being a Communist. But even so, that's no reason for her (or anybody else for that matter) to be punished for a crime she probably never committed. That is NOT justice!

She is amazing for her people
"her people"??? Davis is one person. Do tell karen, who are "her people?" 🤨
She’s still a strong beautiful black woman.
Actually, Dr. Angela Davis was not a member of the Black Panther Party, although she did support them. Just like Mumia wasn't a MOVE member, he was in support of the organization.
Family came over on the Mayflower. Owned slaves on mother’s side.
Thank you sister Davis for your sacrifice in the struggle love you always 🙏🌹💯🖤
They had the audacity to call Miss Angela Davis a black militant😡
Ms. Davis, still fighting the fight.
Douglass High School Class of '73 here; Angela is my spiritual big sister, and her generation was a big reason for my Afrocentricity, which has literally saved my soul throughout the years. I have true friends of all races who have not required me to compromise on my blackness in order to be accepted as a human being. To all whites who fear those like me, I would suggest to you to examine your consciences to find where that fear comes from, and come to terms with that fear before you meet God.
No matter where you're been , no matter where you go, no matter what you have done you will get old one day !
She don't have to change one word out of her speech back in the 70's, just play the tape, and dated 2022, no one would know the different, nothing have changed.
Our prison system needs to move to the Norwegian system. She has dedicated her life to abolishing prison. There is a reason we have prisons. Saying we don't need them is idealistic nonsense.
One of the most powerful ladies to ever walk the planet. Bless you, Ms. Davis! ❤️💯🌎
Well, there hasn’t been much change. so id say her effect was dismissible. Same crap different day/decade.

@@chrisfinch8637 blah bla bla, priveledge, blah blah blah, suffering, blah blah blah, oppression, blah blah blah, asian immigrants facing discrimination, oh what? They excel, grow wealth, raise their standard, educate themselves, have strong family values, no violence, contribute, yet are discriminated against at every turn. How do they do it, withstand it, conquer the oppression? They florish while others go the victim route. Harvard has to limit the acceptance of Asians. And if they didn’t, the whole school would be Asians. How do they do it even though they face oppression and are even assaulted?
@Chris Finch coming through with some wisdom! Good and true quote from a great writer.
Thank you Mrs Davis for your life long fight for freedom and justice an all around great black woman an the fight still continues may God continue to bless you.thank you
Such an AMAZING women...
THANK YOU MY SISTA, FOR YOUR SERVICE. OUR CAUSE: FREEDOM! CHANGE!
Slavery isn't freedom
💐 My most favorite lady I've alwayz admired & respected. Did a paper on her for college: "MOST INFLUENTIAL BLACK WOMAN THAT MADE A MONUMENTAL. CHANGE IN THE WORLD." I made an A. In researching Ms Angela Davis, I learned so much more. AND I HAVE 2 SHIRTS WITH HER IMAGE ON THEM. JESUS CHRIST led Ms Davis to open young minds & learn more of our movement. THANK YOU DOCTOR ANGELA DAVIS FOR YOUR STRENGTH, DETERMINATION, WISDOM, INTELLECT, SACRIFICE, HOPE, & LIBERTY FOR ALL😇👍
Very good leader to look up to
Wow what a brave women you are Angela Davis. Thank you for your service! God bless you always and keep you safe!🙏🏿🙏🏿💖💖
I was 18 in 1972 and she scared me a little. Now I appreciate how courageous she was.
That's a Wonderful story...... 🤭
Love her so much ❤
May we all make Good Trouble!
No prisons? Come on, Angela! That is absurd. Prison reform is absolutely on the table and there are Federal judges who are joining together to look at alternatives to incarceration--judges who do a powerful voices and can make alternative sentencing happen. In fact, I work with one of them and he is doing amazing work. But no prisons is never going to happen - nor should it. But alternative sentencing can and will succeed. I have known of you since my teenage years and applaud your fight but you need to get up to speed!
I would suggest you look to Bryan Stevenson who has done so much and will continue to further advance the conversation regarding justice for the black community and incarceration. Your message, Angela, seems, at this point, stale.
Ole Angela Davis just found out she’s got some Caucasian in her and wasn’t to thrilled about it. How interesting.
It was a while ago since I saw that program, so I might misremember, but wasn't she already aware of her part Caucasian ancestry? The Mayflower connection is what seemed to floor her somewhat. I didn't read her reaction as dislike, more surprise because she really didn't expect that. Wouldn't that be a big revelation for _anyone_ tracing back their ancestry?
The similarities of crimes against Blacks by some in law enforcement from the day of Angela and before and the present, never went away. That is why there should be "Reparations".
As a young teenager growing up in the early 70s Angela Davis Nikki Giovanni the BLA and H rap brown all inspired me.
Right On ! Love ❤ our Shero
Thank U, infinite intelligence. ♾
I love Angela Davis very intelligent
That's very white of you, how many of your family was blonde by 1865?
She's still beautiful and still bringing forth that energy love you always
I just love talking to people until they get political, racist and angry. I enjoy peace.
She is a Freudian delusional delight! Best of luck to all of us!
Could you expand on what you mean by that statement?
Thank you Angela for all you have done for our people! You look great for 78 🤗
Was my inspiration in 1970. Is still a inspiration today. I was 15 then and very impressionable to Civil Rights Human Rights Movement. Even though I was not a young black woman , I am white I knew women of every color every race from any background needed to be heard. She let Me know that it was OK to have that voice of change and to use it.
Eww. A communist
God Bless You Ms Davis. I'm for you back in the 70s. I'm for you Now in 2022.
A very intelligent person so educated
Wasn't she a communist? The Oscar winning movie "Network" did a parody on her.
Yes, big communist. She was the twice Vice Presidential candidate for the communist party. Big supporter of Fidel Castro too.
Somebody snitched? You looked so different with straight Hair. How did that happen. God Bless You. All You did.
And all you continue to do.
Thank you so much!
Thank you so very much ...Angela ....for using your voice of Courage and Justice
How about her puritan ancestors that came over on the mayflower? Her reaction was priceless.
😆😆she owes herself reparations.
@@desolateone8403 I have mi'qmak blood she owes me too.
✨✨✨✨Icon. May we all find our spirit to fight on and on looking to people like Angela Davis!
Well, there hasn’t been much change so id say her effect was dismissible. Same crap different day/decade.
@@joehalliday6081 yet you are on this video giving it time, space, and energy. It seems that you really couldn’t MISS the opportunity to see or discuss an important figure of American History either… I can’t even blame you.
@@ravenc1298 not really little miss arm chair psychologist. Reading dribs and drabs comments like yours helps me fall asleep when I’ve had too much coffee.
Thank you Mx. Davis… 🫶🏾 🖖🏾
I wonder if people consider that African Americans are police cheifs,police officers,mayors,doctors,lawyers,teachers,congresspersons,great musicians and entertainers..all walks of life..It seems to me a lot of progress has been made..and it also seems this is largely disregarded...
Amen 🙏
Can they get away with abuse of power like sexual assault on whites?
John, it would have been a lot more than that if generational wealth had not taken away from some high achieving black people like it was from the people who lived in Tulsa, OK in 1921. The people who lived there had everything destroyed over night by envious white people.
@@yvonneplant9434 Yes..its horrible...I just try to find inspiration from the good people of the world...go forward and let love light the way....
Agreed ❤ some live in the ideals that they had to fight with in their youth and never acknowledge the progress that was made. Thank god she did what she did but I wish could some light.
She’s an amazing person.
She was the light when I was young. We had no choice to speak out. There protest all the time and I prayed that my uncle and cousin would be safe. Look at what's going on today evil and hatred persist today but out in the open. Now I am praying for all my family and others for their safety. trump made it okay to hate out in the open now they're are taking over our government. What ever happens to us will bleed over to everyone life's. Keep hoping and praying.
I've been seeing people hate openly for years long before Trump was on the radar. How did he make it ok??? 😮
Who brought the guns into the Marin County Civic Center? Who is responsible for “ Gary Thomas” That ended up being in a wheelchair for the rest of your life?
Icon, legend, no amount of thanks can be said for the sacrifices you made and the awful things you had to endure...
LoL, how can you be so uninformed to want the tyranny she calls liberation?
isn't she a Communist?
Thought i heard that too
And yet commenters here are asking God to bless her.
A great woman. I saw her at our local YWCA about 15 years ago. Beautiful power. Powerful beauty. ❤️🙏🏼
Why are you giving the Prejudiced woman recognition? Read up on her!!
No. You are prejudiced
I love her! She's AWESOME
I’ve have loved this Woman most of my Adult life, I admire and respect her integrity, the power of hope and your strength has never wavered. Thank you Ms. Davis
Greetings while living in Ghana west Afri my at that time my empress had the honor of being Queen Davis vegan chef. She was the main speaker at women's conference in Ghana. RASPECT!!
I still have my "Free Angela Davis" button from the early 70's.
HER TRUTH WHICH IS THE REAL TRUTH! IS STILL SO VERY SORROWFUL NOW THE EXACT SAME TRUTH!!
Angela Davis. Amazing Woman Right Here From Oakland.Ca 💯🙂💯
Legend. God bless Angela!
Very brave woman!!!
Class of 72, She was my SHERO , it was also my nick name in high school, I might add my afro looked much like hers. My class mate was the sister of Papa Ricks who was a member of the Black Panthers. We all looked up to her, she represent change. Love you for all that you did.
My❤ MOTHER❤...REST IN PARADISE. During the early 60's purchased some books from a door to door salesperson......I was introduced to ❤Ms Angela Davis as a young girl upon picking up 1 of the books and reading. I asked questions and My ❤Mother❤ throughly spoke on many things.
Don’t agree with her Marxist philosophy, but she got the last laugh on Ronald Reagan by teaching at a UC Institution.
That was her patronage reward from the regime
Was it ever explained how Jonathan Jackson got Angela's guns?
It's good to see you Angela. I recall when we were all young, beautiful, energetic, and idealistic. We're old sages now. But, the fires of change still burn in our hearts.
Yes! We remember your courage.
Age doesn't make you less beautiful. Not you. Not Dr Davis. That's just cultural programming in a world obsessed with youth (or at least young appearance).
Stay beautiful and strong 🖤
Right on ❤❤❤
She will always be an Inspiration!
Side fun fact..Angela's brother Ben Davis played cb for the Cleveland Browns
Fascinating lady! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Well-fed and well paid
Ms. Davis, It’s good to see you so very well. Born and raised in San Francisco I both recall your message, spirit, soul and smile. This kid still thinks you’re the best Ms. Davis.
Preach sister Preach amen 🙏 amen 🙏 there no such thing as color peace 🙏
Hail to the Queen Mother of the Revolution!👏🏾🙌🏾✊🏾
Cop hater,communist, country- hating traitor, should have been exiled from this country years ago!! FROM A PROUD BLACK CONSERVATIVE, WHOM HAS 25YRS IN LOSS PREVENTION- LAW ENFORCEMENT!!
She shouldn’t be exiled, but you’re right about the rest. Terrible person pushing terrible ideas. No one should take her seriously.
Angela Davis is black power ✊🏾
