Notes
General Note
"While the authors have attempted to make this graphic biography as factually accurate and honest as possible, some standard literary devices have been used to help tell Angela Davis' story. They include the creation of composite fictional narrators, such as her young friend, Linda, and the journalist, June."
Bibliography
Includes bibliographical references (page 179).
Description
"In 1971, the FBI put Angela Davis on their 10 Most Wanted List because they alleged that she orchestrated a politically motivated Marin County courtroom gunfight. She went to prison despite her protestations of innocence. Soon the entire world would know her story and demand her freedom. In 1972, she was found not guilty by an all-white jury. Ms Davis is the story of her dedication to the fight for justice"-- Back cover.
