Happy Birthday Angela Davis! #OnThisDay Angela turns 77 years old. Angela is a political activist, philosopher, academic, and author. Davis was a member of the Black Panthers, an all-Black branch of the Communist Party USA, and a founding member of the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism. A supporter of the Soledad Brothers, she was charged with aiding the botched escape attempt of imprisoned George Jackson, and served roughly 18 months in jail before her acquittal in 1972. Since then she has a remained a prominent figure, speaking out against injustice, racism, imperialism, and exploitation. In the Local 1199 Collection at Kheel there is a photo of Cornell’s own Eric Acree, Director of the John Henrik Clarke Africana Library, as an 11-year old in 1971 with his mother, sisters, and friends in their apartment in Brooklyn, NY after gathering petitions to free Angela Davis. Eric and Kim Isaacs, a young girl in the group, teamed up to collect more than 1,000 signatures, and Eric has stated that it was his entry point into activism. To learn more about Eric Acree and some other extraordinary people, read the full article here: https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2020/10/family-ties-abound-cornell-university-library-archives. The photos include correspondence from Davis to 1199 president Leon Davis and Gloria Steinem, as well as a letter Davis penned from jail.
