Church Defends Angela Davis Fund Contribution
The United Presbyterian Church gave 10000 to Angela Davis defense amid charges linked to a Marin County courthouse gun battle. William Thompson argues aiding those outside church standards tests commitments to civil liberties and justice for Black defendants. He notes broad but mostly individual reaction and cites a 100000 legal aid fund from the 1970 general assembly as supporting backing.
