During her visit to Cuba, she continued to
work for social change after her
incarceration throughout the 1970s, and
in the decades that followed. She gave
lectures in schools, universities and
parks.
She has written several books, the most
well-known being: Angela Davis: an
autobiography; Women, race, and class;
Abolition democracy: Beyond the Empire,
Torture and Prisons; Blues legacies and
black feminism; Are prisons obsolete?
She participated in the campaign of the
Vice President of the United States on the
ticket of the
Communist Party, in 1980 and 1984,
with the Communist candidate Gus
Hall urging the left to vote for
Democrats, activists in practice.
Evolutionary “Les must be realists,”
said Davis. Although she is no longer a
member of the Communist Party, is
part of the Advisory Committee of the
committees of correspondence for
democracy and socialism.
“I agree more the things I can't change. “I change the things I can not
accept.“
In recent years, she spoke out against
the U.S.
Prison system, which she calls the
“prison-industrial complex” and a
“modern form of slavery.”
She helped to form the African
American Agenda 2000, an alliance of
Black feminists. Davis is featured in
the new film, the Black Power Mix
Tape.
Although retired from teaching, she
continues to be a force today for social
change, by being a strong supporter for
the abolition of the United States
prison system, which it calls a “form of
slavery”, and to Occupy Wall Street
movements.
Angela Y. Davis has been a person of
courage and coherent belief, who
spoke with force for social justice and
change.
