Essay Topics

Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

Angela Davis and her supporters helped each other not only when they were brought up on false charges, but they also broke the law in order to shelter each other and hide each other from the police. Is this an ethical stance to take--to defy the law--or were there other avenues that might have been effective? Were Davis and her supporters obligated to break the law or follow it?

Essay Topic 2

What is the nature of Angela Davis's book? Is it a memoir, or simply topical history that is really only relevant as long as there as interest in her trial? How does the book work as propaganda for the Civil Rights movement? Is it a morality tale? A coming of age tale? What else is it besides a memoir?

Essay Topic 3

Was it useful for Angela Davis to see society itself as the culprit in the death of Gregory Clark or others? Or did it diffuse her political activities?
