Angela Davis is famous for more than her notorious afro, she had a crucial role in the civil rights movement. The main focus of her political involvement was and still is the state of prisons in the United States. This person really caught my eye because of her life long struggle to strive for integration and equality for all, and her deep concern for people who are considered a hopeless cause instilled the desire for me to learn her past.
Angela Davis– Freedom Song
I have endured
Struggle
For the advancement
I have been jailed
I have been mistreated
I have felt the pain of losing the lives of loved ones to hate
I understand the tough journey towards integration
I have a desire
To show people the reality
To expose the injustice taking place
For the forgotten people of the world
I have to share the truth that slavery still exists for these people
I am armed with
Wisdom
Experience
And knowledge
And I am ready to finish this fight
I know the road to freedom is always stalked by pain
But I am ready
Because this fight is worth the struggle
