About the book
This incisive speech on the meaning of freedom was delivered at a conference organized for the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade in 1808. Speaking in depth on the history of slavery in the US, the destructive nature of the prison-industrial complex and the growing threat to democracy posed by ever-powerful global corporations, Davis ask listeners to recall inspiring moments of resistance and to work across lines of race and gender to foster grassroots democracy.
