Jay David is the author of Growing Up Black: From Slave Days to the Present--Twenty-Five African Americans Reveal the Trials and Triumphs of Their Childhoods and Growing Up Jewish: An Anthology. He lives in New York City. DAVIS, ANGELA YVONNE. Angela Yvonne Davis, political activist, author, professor, and Communist party member, was an international symbol of the black liberation movement of the 1960s and 1970s. Davis was born in Birmingham, Alabama, on January 26, 1944, the eldest of four children. Her family was relatively well-off among the blacks in the city. Her father and mother were teachers in the Birmingham school system, and her father later purchased and operated a service station. When Davis was four years old, the family moved out of the Birmingham projects and bought a large wooden house in a nearby neighborhood. Other black families soon followed. Incensed white neighbors drew a dividing line between the white and black sections and began trying to drive the black families out by bombing their homes. The area soon was nicknamed Dynamite Hill. Davis's mother had in college been involved in antiracism movements that had brought her into contact with sympathetic whites. She and Davis's father tried to teach their daughter that this hostility between blacks and whites was not preordained. All of Birmingham was segregated during Davis's childhood. She attended blacks-only schools and theaters and was relegated to the back of city buses and the back doors of shops, which rankled her. On one occasion, as teenagers, Davis and her sister Fania entered a Birmingham shoe store and pretended to be non-English-speaking French visitors. After receiving deferential treatment by the salesmen and other customers, Davis announced in English that black people only had to pretend to be from another country to be treated like dignitaries. Davis later wrote that although the black schools she attended were much poorer than the white schools in Birmingham, her studies of black historical and contemporary figures such as frederick douglass, sojourner truth, and Harriet Tubman helped her develop a strong positive identification with black history. "We have accumulated a wealth of historical experience which confirms our belief that the scales of justice are out of balance." —Angela Davis. The civil rights movement was beginning to touch Birmingham at the time Davis entered high school. Her parents were members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (naacp). In her junior year of high school, Davis decided to leave what she considered to be the provincialism of Birmingham. She applied for an early entrance program at Fisk University, in Nashville, Tennessee, and an experimental program developed by the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) through which black students from the South could attend integrated high schools in the North. Although Davis was admitted to Fisk—which she viewed as a stepping-stone to medical school, where she could pursue a childhood dream of becoming a pediatrician—she chose the AFSC program. At age 15, she boarded a train for New York City. There, she lived with a white family headed by an Episcopalian minister who had been forced from his church after speaking out against Senator joseph r. mccarthy's anti-Communist witch-hunts. Davis attended Elisabeth Irwin High School, located on the edge of Greenwich Village. The school originally had been a public school experiment in progressive education; when funding was cut off, the teachers turned it into a private school. Here, Davis learned about socialism and avidly studied the Communist Manifesto. She also joined a Marxist-Leninist youth organization called Advance, which had ties to the Communist Party. In September 1961, Davis entered Brandeis University, in Waltham, Massachusetts, on a full scholarship. One of only three black first-year students, she felt alienated and alone. The following summer, eager to meet revolutionary young people from other countries, Davis attended a gathering of communist youth from around the world in Helsinki, Finland. Here, she was particularly struck by the cultural presentations put on by the Cuban delegation. She also found that the U.S. central intelligence agency had stationed agents and informers throughout the festival. Upon her return to the United States, Davis was met by an investigator from the federal bureau of investigation(FBI), who questioned her about her participation in a communist event. Meeting people from around the world convinced Davis of the importance of tearing down cultural barriers like language, and she decided to major in French at Brandeis. She was accepted in the Hamilton College Junior Year in France Program, and studied contemporary French literature at the Sorbonne, in Paris. Upon her return to Brandeis, Davis, who had always had an interest in philosophy, studied with the German philosopher Herbert Marcuse. The following year, she received a scholarship to study philosophy in Frankfurt, Germany, where she focused on the works of the Germans immanuel kant, georg hegel, and karl marx. During the two years Davis spent in Germany, the black liberation and black power movements were emerging in the United States. The black panther party for self-defense had been formed in Oakland to protect the black community from police brutality. In the summer of 1967, Davis decided to return home to join these movements. Back in Los Angeles, Davis worked with various academic and community organizations to build a coalition to address issues of concern to the African American community. Among these groups was the Black Panther Political Party (unrelated to huey newton and Bobby Seale's Black Panther Party for Self-Defense). During this period, Davis was heavily criticized by black male activists for doing what they considered to be men's work. Women should not assume leadership roles, they claimed, but should educate children and should support men so that they could direct the struggle for black liberation. Davis was to encounter this attitude in many of her political activities. By 1968, Davis had decided to join a collective organization in order to achieve her goal of organizing people for political action. She first considered joining the Communist Party. But because she related more to Marxist groups, she decided instead to join the Black Panther Political Party, which later became the Los Angeles branch of the student nonviolent coordinating committee (SNCC). SNCC was soon embroiled in internal disputes. After her longtime friend Franklin Kenard was expelled from his leadership position in the group because of his Communist Party membership, Davis resigned from the organization. In July 1968, she joined the Che-Lumumba Club, the black cell of the Communist Party in Los Angeles. In 1969, Davis was hired as an assistant professor of philosophy at the University of California, Los Angeles. In July 1969, Davis joined a delegation of Communist Party members who had been invited to spend a month in Cuba. There, she worked in coffee and sugarcane fields, and visited schools, hospitals, and historical sites. Davis remarked that everywhere she went in Cuba, she was immensely impressed with the gains that had been made against racism. She saw blacks in leadership positions throughout the country, and she concluded that only under a socialist system such as that established by Cuban leader Fidel Castro could the fight against racism have been so successful. When she returned to the United States, she discovered that several newspaper articles had been published detailing her membership in the Communist Party and accusing her of activities such as gunrunning for the Black Panther party. Governor ronald reagan, of California, invoked a regulation in the handbook of the regents of the University of California that prohibited the hiring of communists. Davis responded by affirming her membership in the Communist Party, and she began to receive hate mail and threatening phone calls. After she obtained an injunction prohibiting the regents from firing her, the threats multiplied. Soon, she was receiving so many bomb threats that the campus police stopped checking her car for explosives, forcing her to learn the procedure for doing so herself. By the end of the year, the courts had ruled that the regulation prohibiting the hiring of communists was unconstitutional. However, in June 1970, the regents announced that Davis would not be rehired the following year, on the grounds that her political speeches outside the classroom were unbefitting a university professor. During this time, Davis became involved with the movement to free three black inmates of Soledad Prison in California: George Jackson, John Clutchette, and Fleeta Drumgo. The men, known as the Soledad Brothers, had been indicted for the murder of a prison guard. The guard had been pushed over a prison railing when he inadvertently stumbled into a rebellion among black prisoners caused by the killing of three black prisoners by another prison guard. Although Jackson, Clutchette, and Drumgo claimed there was no evidence that they had killed the guard, they were charged with his murder. Davis began corresponding with Jackson and soon developed a personal relationship with him. She attended all the court hearings relating to the Soledad Brothers' indictment, along with many other supporters, including Jackson's younger brother, Jonathon Jackson, who was committed to freeing his brother and the other inmates. On August 7, 1970, using guns registered to Davis, Jonathon attempted to free his brother in a shoot-out at the Marin County Courthouse. Four people were killed, including Jonathon and superior court judge Harold Haley. Davis was charged with kidnapping, conspiracy, and murder, which was punishable in California by death. She fled, traveling in disguise from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, Chicago, Detroit, New York, Miami, and finally back to New York. In October 1970, she was arrested by the FBI, which had placed her on its most wanted list. In December, after two months in jail, Davis was extradited to California, where she spent the next 14 months in jail. She later said that this period was pivotal to her under-standing of the black political struggle in the United States. Having worked to organize people in communities and on campuses against political repression, Davis now found herself a victim of that repression. In August 1971, while incarcerated in the Marin County Jail, she was devastated to learn that George Jackson had been killed by a guard in San Quentin Prison, allegedly while trying to escape. In February 1972, Davis was released on bail following the California Supreme Court's decision to abolish the death penalty ( People v. Anderson , 6 Cal. 3d 628, 100 Cal. Rptr. 152, 493 P. 2d 880). Previously, bail had not been available to persons accused of crimes punishable by death. Her trial began a few days later, and lasted until early June 1972, when a jury acquitted her of all charges. After her acquittal, Davis resumed her teaching career, at San Francisco State University. She continued her affiliation with the Communist Party, receiving the Lenin Peace Prize from the Soviet Union in 1979 and running for vice president of the United States on the Communist Party ticket in 1980 and 1984. Davis is also a founder and cochair of the National Alliance against Racist and Political Repression, and is on the national board of the National Political Congress of Black Women and on the board of the Atlanta-based National Black Women's Health Project. She has authored several books, including Angela Davis: An Autobiography (1974), Women, Race, and Class (1983), Women, Culture, and Politics (1989), and Blues Legacies and Black Feminism (1998). In 1980, she married Hilton Braithwaite, a photographer and faculty colleague at San Francisco State. The marriage ended in divorce several years later. In 1991, Davis began teaching an interdisciplinary graduate program titled the History of Consciousness at the University of California, Santa Cruz. In 1994, she found herself again surrounded by controversy when she was awarded a prestigious University of California President's Chair by university president Jack Peltason. The appointment provides $75,000 over several years to develop new ethnic studies courses. Some state lawmakers were outraged over the award and unsuccessfully demanded that Peltason rescind the appointment. Davis held the position until 1997. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Davis was still speaking out against and writing about the plight of persons she considered to be political prisoners, such as Indian activist Leonard Pelletier and ex-Black Panther Mumia Abu-Jamal, both convicted of killing law enforcement officers. She has continued to call for the decriminalization of prostitution on the basis that it would greatly reduce the number of women in prison. And she has lectured on what she calls the Prison Industrial Complex (PIC), positing that imprisonment has become the most common answer to societal problems and that corporations are profiting from prison labor thereby weakening the chances of prison reform. In 1997, Davis helped found Critical Resistance, an organization that seeks to build an international movement dedicated to dismantling the PIC. Since the late 1970s, Davis has lectured throughout the United States and in countries in Africa, Europe, and Asia. She also remains a prolific author, producing numerous articles and essays. In 2003, in addition to writing and traveling for speaking engagements, Davis continued her work as tenured professor at the University of California at Santa Cruz. further readings.

John Edgar Wideman was born in Washington, D.C., but grew up in Pittsburgh. The Homewood neighborhood in Pittsburgh where he spent his youth serves as the setting for a number of his books. Wideman describes what he values about this community: “I think it’s the people who make the neighborhood. That’s the difference between learning about Homewood through my writing and learning about Homewood from sociologists. There have been interesting books written about Homewood, but the people make the place” (“Home” 454). In 1965, he married Judith Ann Goldman, with whom he has three children. Wideman graduated with a bachelor of arts degree in English from the University of Pennsylvania before becoming the second African American ever to be awarded a Rhodes Scholarship, allowing him to work toward his doctorate at Oxford University. He has taught at the University of Iowa’s Creative Writing Workshop, the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Wyoming at Laramie, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and as a visiting writer at many colleges. Since 2004, Wideman has been Assa Messer Professor and Professor and Africana Studies and English at Brown University. During the six years that he taught at the University of Pennsylvania, he became their first Black tenured professor, created their first African American studies program, (which he chaired from 1971-1973), and had his first book, A Glance Away , published. In addition, he worked as the Assistant Basketball Coach at the University of Pennsylvania from 1968-1972. Wideman writes fiction as well as scholarship about African American literature. About his own intentions as a writer, he says, “I’m very actively deconstructing the given formulas and definitions of African American culture and life, and trying to put in their place those that seem more reasonable, more real, more lively, more potentially positive. In my mind, I can’t think of anything more important” (“Storytelling” 265). Many of Wideman’s works are connected to Pennsylvania. The Lynchers portrays a group of African American men in Philadelphia who plan to hang a white police officer. Philadelphia Fire tells the story of police violence towards the MOVE organization, and The Cattle Killing depicts the victimization of Black Philadelphians during a fever outbreak in the late 1700s. The three novels that make up The Homewood Trilogy ( Damballah , Hiding Place , and Sent for You Yesterday ) chronicle the experiences of a family living in the Pittsburgh community where Wideman grew up. However, Wideman points out that while these books are based on his childhood community, they are fictional: “The distinction I want to make is that, once I started to write, I was creating a place based partly on memories of the actual place I lived in, and partly on the exigencies or needs of the fiction I was creating” (“Home” 453). In addition to writing fiction, Wideman has produced several autobiographical works. In his memoir Brothers and Keepers , Wideman discusses how he dealt with his brother Robby’s life in prison sentence as a result of his participation in a burglary that also led to a murder. Wideman would experience this kind of loss again: eleven years after Robby went to jail, Wideman’s son Jacob was also given a life sentence for murder. Wideman’s nonfiction work Fatheralong deals with this issue. Although Wideman’s novels have varying plots and characters, several themes connect his works. Robin Lucy describes how community and the struggle for cultural survival flow through Wideman’s writings when she describes how “the storyteller/writer probes the potential dissolution of African American community under the impact of external and internal violence. At the same time, myriad American voices and narratives surface in his work, articulating the possibilities of, and the tragic failure to create, a multiracial, multicultural American nation” (484). In particular, relationships between fathers and sons and between brothers often appear in Wideman’s works. Jacqueline Berben-Masi discusses how Wideman uses the father-son relationship to make “an impassioned plea for us all to reconsider our notion of the prodigal and to purge our society of the race issue that distorts our vision of certain Americans and short-circuits their access to the American Dream” (683). In addition, Yves-Charles Grandjeat examines how Wideman uses fraternal relationships to show how division and separation can be a way to learn empathy (620-21). Wideman emphasizes the need for a strong community as a way to counter violence and racism. Some critics have chosen to focus on Wideman’s experimental modernist style, comparing him to William Faulkner (Lucy 489). Janet Dwyer praises Wideman’s writing style in her review of Two Cities as “beautifully structured, cunningly interlaced, and sensuously immediate” (102). In another review of Two Cities , Sybil Steinberg comments, “A dark and brooding fugue on the nature of violence, Wideman’s latest novel … again dispenses with conventional narrative development to compose a many-character testament to the suffering of people affected by the brutal force of power” (72). Other critics focus less on Wideman’s style and more on the strengths of his plot, setting, and characters. In a review of Hoop Roots , Tracy Grant says that while Wideman’s “stream-of-consciousness writing style, replete with fragmented sentences, makes for difficult reading,” the reader will find that “the works of John Edgar Wideman, author, professor and devout follower of the religion called basketball, are usually informed by his connection to his hometown, the emotional highs and lows of family life, and his keen social observations regarding working class African Americans” (69). Life and Work. Lorene Cary was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As a high school student, she left Philadelphia to attend St. Paul’s School in New Hampshire. She was among the first African American students to attend this prep school that had previously only accepted white male students. Cary received her diploma from St. Paul’s in 1974. After graduating from St. Paul’s, Cary was accepted to the University of Pennsylvania, where she obtained both a bachelor of arts and a master of arts. A Thouron Fellowship gave her the chance to study at the Sussex University in the United Kingdom, where she received a master of arts in Victorian literature. In addition to these degrees, Cary has been awarded honorary doctorates from Colby College, Keene State College, and Chestnut Hill College. After finishing college, Cary worked in publishing for several magazines, including Time , TV Guide , and Newsweek . She also worked as a freelance writer for Essence , American Visions , Mirabella , Obsidian , and the Philadelphia Inquirer . Additionally, Cary has worked as a teacher. She returned to St. Paul’s prep school to teach classes and currently teaches creative writing at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. About this return to her native city, Cary says: “Being here is sort of a homecoming. I now live in the city where I grew up.… I like to come back to places and work the territory deeper than the first time around” (“Faculty Profile”). Cary has won several awards for her community service in Philadelphia. One example of this community involvement is the Art Sanctuary program, which Cary created in 1998. As part of this program, Black writers and artists—jazz musicians, hip hop performers, poets, filmmakers, artists, photographers—come to the Church of the Advocate in Philadelphia to speak and perform for local audiences. Cary believes this program “teaches creativity and hope, slipping them under the skin and into the brains of as many as possible where it will raise IQs and EQs.… art is not a luxury” ( Lorene Cary Homepage ). Throughout her writing career, Cary has published one memoir, two novels, and essays in several magazines. Her memoir, Black Ice , recounts her time as a student and teacher at St. Paul’s School. The Price of a Child , Cary’s first novel, narrates the story of an escaped slave who is forced to abandon her baby when she flees. Later in life, the runaway works as an abolitionist and with the Underground Railroad to help others obtain freedom. Set in nineteenth century Philadelphia, this novel was chosen as part of the “One Book, One Philadelphia” program, which involves book readings, discussion groups, and a town hall meeting to promote literacy as a whole. Cary’s novel Pride also centers on life in Philadelphia, but this novel is set in contemporary times. Each of the book’s four parts is dedicated to one of the four Black female friends who are the novel’s main characters: Roz, Tamara, Arneatha, and Audrey. Cary uses the first person voice in this novel, and as it shifts from one character to another, distinct voices and personalities emerge. Because the novel uses this shifting first person point of view, the reader often hears two or even three versions of the same event. While the four sections each focus on a different character, they have a similar arc. Each woman faces a crisis in her life. Roz, the wife of an up and coming political candidate, must deal with surviving breast cancer, her husband’s infidelity, her sixteen year old daughter’s pregnancy, and her son’s marriage to a woman Roz considers to be beneath him. Tamara fails to achieve tenure and is dismissed from her position at a university, and she risks losing her friends when the other women discover she has had a long-term affair with Roz’s husband. Arneatha, a minister, fears she has lost the ability to preach and to love after her husband dies. Audrey attempts to overcome alcoholism that has resulted in estrangement from her son and an unsuccessful suicide attempt. Just as each section chronicles the crises in these women’s lives, each section ends with hope. Roz and her husband reaffirm their love and establish new boundaries, while Tamara finds success in love with a man that understands her need for independence and success in her career when she follows her passion and creates a television cooking show. Arneatha adopts a child, falls in love, and finds her voice as a preacher again. Audrey struggles to stay sober with the support of her AA sponsors and begins to build a relationship with her estranged son and his new family. For these four women, their lifelong friendship, love relationships, and spiritual beliefs help them overcome the crises in their lives. In addition to following these women as they deal with their individual difficulties, Cary’s novel also examines broader issues of racial division in the United States. Roz comments on the position of Black women in America when she says, “If you’re a black woman with ambition–or man, for that matter–you better be aggressive…. Because we are supposed to be sub . Subservient. Subsistent. Substandard. Subliterate. Subordinate. Subdued” (11-12). Arneatha echoes these feelings when she describes how Blacks historically commemorated July fifth as a day to strive for independence and equal rights. In a racially divided country, these women reach for success while being constantly reminded of their second class status. Pride does not just describe racism in the United States; the novel takes the next step and provides some solutions. One way to fight against racism is to preserve and celebrate Black culture. The four women attend the annual Odunde festival held in Philadelphia, and Tamara self-publishes a book about Black culture to educate others about history and tradition. Another solution proposed in the novel is detailed in Arneatha’s sermon to her congregation. She discusses Martin Luther King, Jr. who “was a warrior who taught us to fight for freedom, and we’ve made him look like a midwife who stood next to history and let justice slide out naturally” (244). Arneatha reminds her congregation that the civil rights movement was not an easy, unavoidable result, but rather a “fight for justice” that involved much hard work (245). While Arneatha ultimately loses her fight with city government, Pride does end on a note of optimism for the future with the celebration of a wedding and images of hope and rebirth.
