Pullin from the Stacks

Knowledge Breaks - Angela Davis


Listen Later

For the third edition of Knowledge Breaks, I attempt to honor the legendary scholar, teacher, historian, activist, organizer and former political prisoner Angela Davis. As it's Women's History Month, I used only breaks and samples from women artists. It is impossible to encapsulate anyone in a 17-minute mix, but especially someone like Prof. Davis, who has spoken and written on so many critical issues over the past 50+ years, from prison abolition to support for Palestine - and shown how these struggles are all linked to one another. I do want to highlight two books of the many she's written that were important to me: Are Prisons Obsolete? from 2003 and Blues Legacies and Black Feminism from 1998. But everything she's done is highly recommended. I used excerpts from a number of recorded conversations from Youtube for this mix, as well as excerpts from two records I own featuring her voice as well as others speaking in support of her while she was incarcerated. As usual, I encourage everyone to listen to these in full if you're able. Links in my Souncloud.
