From the collection of Catherine Roma, “Angela Davis has been a shero of mine for a long while. She’s radical, an academic, a prison abolitionist, a lesbian and fierce feminist.” This now famous Cuban silk screen says “Comite por la libertad de Angela Davis, Cuba.” Guns belonging to Davis were used in an armed takeover of a courtroom where four people were killed. She was prosecuted for 3 felonies, including conspiracy to murder and held in jail for over a year. Several protests took place demanding her freedom. John Lennon and Yoko Ono contributed to the campaign with the song “Angela”.
