Angela Davis story recalls a Birmingham girl who rose high
Angela Yvonne Davis, once a bright Birmingham schoolgirl and UCLA philosophy instructor, rose to academic prominence before becoming a federal prisoner charged with kidnaping and murder. Born January 1944 to a teaching family, she studied at Brandeis, the Sorbonne, and Goethe University, earning a PhD track interrupted by political controversy and a San Quentin arrest tied to the Haley courtroom shootout.
