Committee for a Free Angela Davis

The Committee for a Free Angela Davis was an activist group formed in the early 1970s to advocate for the release of Angela Davis, a prominent scholar and activist who was imprisoned on charges related to her alleged involvement in a courtroom incident. The committee organized protests, raised awareness, and lobbied for her legal freedom, highlighting issues of racial injustice, political repression, and civil rights. Their efforts contributed to her eventual acquittal and underscored the broader struggle against systemic inequality and the criminalization of activism.
