Her involvement with a politically distorted murder trial sent her into hiding, becoming one of the FBI’s most wanted. She spent 18 months in jail before she was acquitted of all charges.
She returned to teaching, writing a series of seminal books on social justice and equality. She joined Krishnan to talk about Socialism, how change happens, and her life.

Wow her voice still sounds the same..
This lady has some wonderful opinions. Her belief in positive change is inspiring
Of course having belief in positive change is inspiring but her idea of how to achieve that is idiotic. 5 and a half minutes in and she's already lied more than once and promoted socialism which does not jive whatsoever with our Constitution. I can't wait to hear what else she has to say.
@@ZooomaCW we don't have a constitution in the UK nor is socialism 'evil' as the UK is a socialist benefit state. So ok? America could do with a healthy dose of socialism
So incredibly inspiring, thank you!
A refreshing change.
A patient and respectful interviewer and interviewee. Not in a frenzied time limited dash to provide a bite sized bit of insight, or preferably controversy to grab a headline, instead a mature recognition of a seemingly a timeless state of affairs, change. This was in relation to the current news predominating crisis, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which was hardly mentioned, briefly mentioned in relation to a myriad of factors, accepted as the way of change.
It can take a long time then seemingly happen all of a sudden, in an event seen in retrospect to go all the way back to a vague and broad state of affairs, in which correspondingly broad and vague movements, such as capitalism and fascism more satisfactorily come to mind.
Within these can be more recent facets, such as climate change, permitted in a predominating preference for profit over even the life of our planet.
Mentioned a number of times in the long struggle for racial justice is the George Floyd event, how it provided a catalyst for demonstration on a scale not seen before, a sudden awakening to a matter formed from decades if not centuries of investment, in something that drove and developed millions of people, day after day, in ways that more satisfactorily formed them.
Angela Davis hasn’t given up any of her revolutionary spirit in spite of seemingly a more mellow perspective. She considers herself and abolitionist rather than reformist, regarding prisons, police, and other unsatisfactory institutions, rightly so in my opinion, perhaps referring to reformism as a means of preserving the unsatisfactory state, of oppression.
From this emerges currently, amongst all the other aspects, concerning gender, race, social injustice, the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Her emphasis upon collectivities, community contribution to change, incorporating not just her role, represents a profound understanding of not just her effect but much more, maybe initially including the Communist movement.
Maybe, more currently, it extends to the Ukraine effect.
How is it nobody is taking about the horrible tie this man is using?
No to vaccine passports, no to medical discrimination
Do they really realise not only the sacrifices but the great work this queen has given and been instrumental In the struggle for equality and liberation for the black man ?Angela Davis yeah that great one Capitalism yeah that which destroyed the world . .👑⚖️🙌🏽💎📚✍🏾
Capitalism has created SO MUCH that we cherish in the free world. Please do some research into that. The world is NOT destroyed. It's not in great shape but it's doing okay.
@29:00 trying to figure a future where happiness is as important as economic security.
During a quiet, well modulated conversation video through headphones, if Google inserts an extremely loud, but totally irrelevant Candy Island advert, who is responsible if I suffer a perforated eardrum???
Bad person? How so? Please share.
yep change takes over 400 years and then some.. Racism is still as fresh as it was yester-year
Racism has been beaten down in the west (yay! 😃) and some people seem to have a weird nostalgia for it (you! 😅) so they put it on life support and pretend it’s as strong as ever.
@@Wingedmagician I used to pretend racism isn't happening to make myself feel better and tell myself that it's defeated and didn't exist and then you get reminded that actually you are black and you have a place... not a good one so much... to be honest I hate talking about racism I hate the fact that after all these Yrs exist but hate hearing change is coming and clearly isn't... thats all
@@Wingedmagician FYI I was born in the 80's lived most my life in a non racism bubble... you know not even knowing anything of it no nostalgia for me lol 😆
@@Wingedmagician ruclips.net/video/BuA7TC790SQ/видео.html
Oh and I don't need to gaslight racism had it'd own fire burning for years... tell me would this happen to a white child anywhere in the world today? 2022
@@Wingedmagician Wow how misguided you are. The stats don’t lie and they’re always going to be there, no matter how much you try to bury the truth.
This woman is a master at the ideological equivalent to creating viruses in a lab. 👏👏 an inspiration
They are banning everyone on RUclips who speaks the truth about Russia and Ukraine!
@@catatafish2738 what’s the truth about Russia Ukraine. The way I see it there are two perspectives at least not one truth. But that sucks if they’re doing that to control opinion. We should be allowed to hash it out, it’s too important…
she is so misguided now as before
She is a bad person.
How?
How so? Please shares...
