This collection contains the correspondence, post cards, colorful handmade cards, notes, and elaborate drawings sent to Angela Davis while she was imprisoned awaiting trial in California.

The postcards are part of the support effort for Angela Davis during her the 1970 trial in which she was charged as an accomplice to murder, kidnapping, and conspiracy in California and later found innocent of all charges.
