If They Come in the Morning...: Voices of Resistance by Angela Y. Davis
5.0
Davis includes compiling this collection while in prison in her autobiography, describing it as educational material to be used for organizing for Black Liberation at that time.
Reading this about 50 years later, it's still valuable as educational material, though for slightly different purposes—I think this abolitionist movement isn't as well-known by people my age. Before spending time on the interrelated stories of political prisoners of the time, we read thoughtful prison abolitionist analysis that ties the stories together. We learn from the letters of support from major thinkers of the time.
