Aretha Franklin has surprised almost everyone by taking a vehement stand in the support of Black Panther prisoner of war Angela Davis. Sister Davis is presently fighting extradition from New York to California where she is wanted as an accessory to a murder.
Aretha said that, “Angela Davis must go free. Black people will be free. I’ve been locked up (for disturbing the peace in Detroit) and I know you’ve got to disturb the peace when you can’t get no peace.
“Jail is hell to be in,” she continued, “I’m going to see her free if there is any justice in our courts, not because I believe in communism, but because she’s a Black woman and she wants freedom for Black people.
“I have the money; I got it from Black people — they’ve made me financially able to have it. And I want to use it in ways that will help our people.”
