Born in Alabama in 1944, Angela Davis is an African- American
philosopher who was associated with the Black Panther Party in the
1960s and 1970's, as well as the Communist Party of the United States
of America. She first achieved nationwide notoriety when she was
linked to the murder of the judge Harold Haley during an attempted
Black Panther prison break; she fled underground, and was subject to
an intense manhunt. After 18 months as a fugitive, she was captured,
arrested, tried, and eventually acquitted in one of the most famous
trials of recent U.S. history.

Angela Davis is currently Professor of History of Consciousness at the
University of California and Presidential Chair at the University of
California, Santa Cruz.

Professor Davis' research interests include: feminism, African
American studies, critical theory, popular music culture and social
consciuosness and the philosphy of punishment (women's prisons).
