======================
Above, Angela Davis sometime in the 1960's. She joined the Communist Party in 1968 and ran for Vice President of the United States on the Communist Party ticket in 1980 and 1984.
Above Angela Davis arrested for allegedly assisting in a late 1970's jail break. She was tried and acquitted.
"Davis had worked to free the Soledad (Prison) Brothers, African-American prisoners held in California during the late 1960s. She befriended George Jackson, one of the prisoners accused in an August 7, 1970 abortive escape attempt from Marin County's Hall of Justice, the trial judge and three people were killed, including George Jackson's brother Jonathan. Davis was implicated when police claimed that the guns used had been registered in her name.
Davis fled and was subsequently listed on the FBI's Top 10 Most Wanted list sparking one of the most intensive manhunts in American history. That August, Davis was captured and imprisoned in New York City but freed by an all white jury eighteen months later, cleared of all charges." from, "Angela Davis, a case of acquired activism," 4/1/07, greener magazine blog
