 I don't know, but Angela Davis was an interesting character

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angela_Davis

 

Her autobiography is excellent, a great read of the times, but better is her book If The Come In The Morning. A very articulate writer

 

Thankfully things like this don't happen in the USA any more.......

I'll even do your top button up for you  :D

 

Yes heavy amount of sarcasm given events of last few months in the good old US of A!

I flogged mine about 5 years ago for £100. Bought it in the early 9t's from Craig Moorer who had a few still sealed at the time. Only paid about $20 for it. Dickie Wonder and Little Tommy on the album - quality and it was recorded and put out to help raise money in the campaign to Free Angela Davis..

I read her talking about her life as a political activist, working with the black panthers, feminist etc After which all she would be remembered for is the size of her Afro.

 

except in the uk where she's known for a soul compilation LP

When I had the LP I thought I would do a bit of background reading based on sleeve notes, uncovered that the album was compiled by a number of local artists to raise bail money, think she was an over active activist!  Some great tunes on the album and probably 75-100.

Back in my leftwing days Lesley and I went on a march in London demanding that she be freed. Can't remember what date and year it was though.

Even the Rolling Stones made a song about her "Sweet Black Angel".

 

 I like this LP with Larry Saunders though I prefer his solo "Stranger".
