Angela Davis Speaks

This recording of Gil Noble’s WABC-TV program "Like It Is" features an exclusive interview with Angela Davis done by her lawyer, Margaret Burnham, while she was held in New York at the Women's House of Detention and awaiting trial on the case of the Soledad Brothers in 1971. Joe Walker of Mohammed Speaks, the leading Black newspaper at the time, arranged the interview, drawing questions from a poll conducted on what the average Harlem resident would ask Davis if given the chance. In her answers to these questions Davis is unapologetic and unwavering in her beliefs, stating "There is nothing, absolutely nothing, which could deter me from continuing to fight with all my energies for the freedom of my people."
