Angela Davis writes, “just as we say ‘never again’ with respect to the facism that produced the Holocaust, we should say ‘never again’ with respect to apartheid in South Africa and in the Southern U.S.. That means, first and foremost, that we will have to expand and deepen our solidarity with the people of Palestine, people of all genders and sexualities, people inside and outside prison walls, people inside and outside of the apartheid wall.”
Each interview and speech enclosed in this collection is as important and poignant as the last.

A collection of interviews, essays and speeches, <i>Freedom Is a Constant Struggle</i> is an illuminating view of the struggles against state violence throughout history and around the world. Notably, Davis shares context and information related to Ferguson, Palestine and the South African anti-Apartheid movement.
Being familiar with the events of 2020 and the calls to defund the police, this collection resonated with me. I found myself motivated by Davis' words, while continuously learning new information and perspectives. Reading an e-copy from my library, I highlighted so many lines that I truly cannot wait to get my hands on my own physical copy. It's been several week since I read this and I still cannot formulate coherent thoughts on this collection. It's well-written / articulated, covers a lot of topics and all related to items that are still relevant today. I'm looking forward to reading more of Davis' works.
There are trigger and content warnings with this collection. Notably, state violence and oppression.
