An Autobiography
by Angela Davis
The memoir of Angela Davis, the American political activist and philosopher, first published in 1974 and republished in 2022.
“It is hard now to convey what a sensation Davis was in the early 1970s. Born in 1944 and raised in Birmingham, Ala. (where she knew the four girls killed in the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in 1963), she finished high school at the integrated Elisabeth Irwin School in New York, graduated from Brandeis and earned a PhD in philosophy from Berlin’s Humboldt University.”
