Angela is a charcoal drawing of the Black Panther Party member Angela Davis, who was arrested and imprisoned in 1970 on charges relating to the kidnapping of a judge from a Marin County, California, courthouse and his subsequent killing. Davis's case became a focal point of activism for many around the world, including Gallery 32 and its proprietor, Suzanne Jackson.
