Because her trial is slated to take place in California, she is extradited across the country.
She is placed under arrest in New York and thrown into prison. Davis begins her autobiography at age twenty-six, two years before her infamous run from the FBI, a pivotal moment in her life. She writes about her life in a fairly unemotional, analytical way, choosing to focus on events that shaped her and unapologetically vindicating her deep ties to communist thought. Primarily active in the 1960s and 1970s, Davis advocated for communist politics and an end to racial oppression in the United States. In Angela Davis: An Autobiography (1974) prominent civil rights era writer, educator, and activist Angela Davis chronicles her early life through her early 30s when she was wrongfully incarcerated, in 1970, and the highly publicized trial that lasted until 1972.
