Angela Davis by Mackenzie Werner https://padlet.com/renrew123/wtmhqnfxiev639q2 Radical African American Educator and Activist for Civil Rights and other Social Issues! en-us 2020-11-18 16:56:56 UTC 2020-11-19 18:30:24 UTC hello@padlet.com Just a really good quote! renrew123 https://padlet.com/renrew123/wtmhqnfxiev639q2/wish/937692632 “You ask me whether I approve of violence? That just doesn’t make any sense at all. Whether I approve of guns? I grew up in Birmingham, Alabama. Some very, very good friends of mine were killed by bombs – bombs that were planted by racists. I remember, from the time I was very small, the sound of bombs exploding across the street and the house shaking … That’s why, when someone asks me about violence, I find it incredible because it means the person asking that question has absolutely no idea what black people have gone through and experienced in this country from the time the first black person was kidnapped from the shores of Africa (Bakare, 2020).”]]> 2020-11-18 16:59:22 UTC https://padlet.com/renrew123/wtmhqnfxiev639q2/wish/937692632 renrew123 https://padlet.com/renrew123/wtmhqnfxiev639q2/wish/937705468 2020-11-18 17:01:38 UTC https://padlet.com/renrew123/wtmhqnfxiev639q2/wish/937705468 renrew123 https://padlet.com/renrew123/wtmhqnfxiev639q2/wish/942296687 Angela joined the Black Panther party in 1969.

Every single crime we send people behind bars for has an underlying issue. Every possession case has some void those people are trying to fill and every domestic viloelnce and sexual violence case has some lack of education or understanding. By educating and helping people understand why they do certain actions and what a better way to manage or deal with that void is we can not only stop paying stupid amounts of money for people to sit behind bars but change the world. Rehibilation not incarceratrion. ]]> 2020-11-19 17:47:38 UTC https://padlet.com/renrew123/wtmhqnfxiev639q2/wish/942567812
