On this day, 13 October 1970, famous African-American activist Angela Davis was arrested at 26 years old by the FBI in New York City. She had fled California after a warrant for her arrest was issued in August in connection with an attempted jailbreak. Notorious FBI director J. Edgar Hoover had listed Davis on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitive List, and with her arrest President Richard Nixon congratulated the FBI on its “capture of the dangerous terrorist.” Davies was later acquitted of all charges.
This is a great collection of African-American radical writings, including texts by Davis: https://libcom.org/library/black-revolutionaries-us-communist-interventions-vol-3 https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1234297513422063/?type=3
