amy: "waking up" on democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. in this women's history month special, we turn to angela davis. she has been one of ththe most influentiall a activists and influentials in the united

states. an icon of the 1970's black liberation movement. gender, centers around race, class, and prisons. she has influenced thought across several generations. she is a leading advdvocate for prison abolition. 1944, she was born in birmingham, alabama. the city would become known as a result of so many ku klux klan bombings. the ku klux klan blew up the 16th street apt his church -- baptist church. i spoke to angela davis after donald trump waffled over his refusal to condemnmn an endorsement by david duke, the prominent whitite supremacist ad former ku klux klan leader. angela: it didn't really

surprise me. ofh have seen the development a kind of fascist appeal over the time that donald trump has achieve theing to republican nomination. that it would have been extremely difficult to imagine someone like this having a legitimate claim to the republican nomination even at the time that we thought it was totally amazing that george w. bush might eventually become the president of the u.s. offink this is an indication the extent t to which conservatitives and the repepubn party have been creating this serve as can, indeed,

support for someone like donald trump. meanshat the ku klux klan , , it is hahard to ask that question -- you think everybody knows, but i think it is very important to talk about their historical significance and the violence thahat they rot. -- wrought. course, we are still witnessing the legacy of the ku klux klan today. which is not to say that the ku klux klan has and put to rest. that organization still exist. the two clubs clan evokes the racist, terrorist, violent with the eraiated following slavery up to the presesent. to be anot seem to me question whether one would disavow the ku klux klan. but of course, the extent to

which donald trump was beating , seemingly, in an effort not to alienate those who might support the klan today is a an indication -- amy: and it was right before super tuesday which had a number of southern state. when he came out in the debate to say he was disavow and, that was after super tuesday. angela: it is interesting that those states below the mason lin dixo that have been historically associated with that kind of violent racism. amy: let's go from the republicans to the democrats. during a recent private hillary clinton fundraiser in charleston, south carolina before the primary, a black lives matter act to vest named ashley wililliams held up a banr reading "we have to bring them to heal.l."

it was reference to controversial statements hillary clinton made in 1996 about some youth who she called susuper predators. wilson then confronted clinton. >> i'm not a super predator, hillary clinton. >> can i talk? maybe you would know what i think. thanks very much. there are e a lot of issues in this campaign. >> [indiscernible] you said this in 1994. please explain. you owe an apology. >> that is an inappropriate -- [indiscernible] you know what? nobody has ever asked me before. i'm happy y to address this. you are the first person to ask me. ok, back to the issue. hillary clinton

saying, you are the first person to ask me about this speaking to ashley williams, the black lives matter at best who confronted -- .ctivist who confronted clinton the protest was in response to these controversial comments hillary clinton made was speaking at kean college in new hampshire in 1996. >> they y are often the kinds of kikids that are called super predatory, n no conscience, , no empaththy, we can talk about why then did up that way, but first we have to bring them to heel. in: thahat is what she said 1996. on super tuesday, she was confronted by a young somali-american woman who asked clinton about her super predator comments. the quiet back-and-forth ended with clinton growing frustrated and telling the young woman, "why don't you go rununning for something then?" angela davis, if you could respond. angela: i think it is wonderful

that black lives matter activists are participating in this electoral period. forcing candidates to speak about issues whichch they might not speak. of course, hillary clinton should have said, i was wrong to use the term super predators. what i know now i did not necessarily know then. there are many ways in w which e could have disavowed it. the clinton administration was responsible, at least in large part for the buildup of what is now called mass incarceration with the passage of the 1994 crime bill.. it seems to me that if she is interested in the votes of not only african-americans, but people of color and of all people who are progressive and attempting to speak out against the racism o of over incarceration, she would simply

say, i was wrong then. that super predator is a racially coded term. isis so interesting that she relying on a universalism thatt prevents h her from acknowledgig how much racism is a force and influence in this country. primary aftern caucus after primary, when there is a large african-american population, she wins that vote. over bernie sanders. angela: of course, if we look at the historical situation, we know that her husband, bill clinton, was extremely popular in the black communities all over the country. he w w one of ththe most popular presidents before obama, perhaps

the most popular president in the history of the country, except perhaps abraham lincoln. toni morrison called her are for -- in our first black president. angela: she did not exactly say that. what she was referring to wawas the fact that he did acknowledge black culture in ways that other presidents had not. a sense, you can say that there was a conscious appeal to in a way thaties his wife hillary clinton is not capable of developing. but yeah, we find ourselves in a very difficult situation. with bernie sanders being the alternative -- and bernie sanders, declaring himself a socialist and r raising a whole

number of absolutely important -- putting pressure on her is good. on one hand, you have a candidate so relet to address -- reluctant to address racism. said inoint, she response to the slogan black lives matter, "all lives matter." if all lives did matter, we would not have to say that black lives matter. on the other hand, you have bernie sanders, who engages in a kind of economic reductionism that prevents him from speaking, from developing a vocabulary in waysows him to speak that enlighten us about the persistence of racism, racist violence, state violence. amy: what would you say bernie sanders would say that would satisfy you and how he under the issue of racial and economic oppression? i would think that

he might recognize the extent to which capitalism is racial capitalism, as cedric robinson pointed out. on slavery.as built throughout the history of capitalism, we see the extent to intertwined with economic oppression. it seems that he does not have the vocabulary that allows him to see the role that racism has played. he seems to think that economic justice will lead us to racial justice. amy: who are you endorsing? angela: endorsing? i don't endorse. , well, to beat

voted i've actually never for one of the two major parties in a presidential election before barack obama. i believe an independent politics. i still think that we need a new party, a party that is grounded in labor, a party that can speak to all of the issues around racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, what is happening in the world. we don't yet have that party. even as we participate in this electoral process, as it exists today, we need to be looking ahead toward a very different political process. time, we put pressure on whoever is running.

i'm actually more interested in helping to develop vasast movements that can create the kind of pressure that will force whoever is elected or whoever becomes the candidate to move in more progressive directions. amy: i want to ask you about your new book -- "freedom is a constant struggle." talk about these coming together of movements. , there well, often times are historicalal conjectures tht one cannot necessarily predict. but there were moments when thingsgs come together in such a way that no possibility -- new possibilities arrive. when the ferguson protesters refused to go home after protesting for two or three days, when they insisted on continuing that protest, and -- when palestine

activists, palestinian activists in palestine were the first to tweet solidarity and support for them, that opened up a whole new realm. people knonow whether mamany are aware of the extent to which palestinian-american activists were involved from the very outset in the protest against the killing of michael brown in ferguson, but it has been absolutely inspiring to watch the development of young activists. i have to catch myself when i and blackmovements youth movements. i have to catch myself and recognize that these are the movements of our time. they are not youth movements per se. becacause the youth have always led radical movements.

exciting to live during this era. it must t be extremely excxcitio bebe young now. it is s also exciting for thosef us who are older to see this promise that has emerged in such powerful ways for the first time since perhaps the 1960's and 1970's. so much talk about not the intersection of lily of identities, but the intersection analogy of struggles. angela: that is characteristic of the work that young organizers are doing. not recognize that it is possible to effectively create radical consciousness by focusing on a single issue. movementsny of the that chahallenge police killings in the past focused in a myopic way on the prosecution of the individual perpetrator.

now, movements, these movements, -- taking on larger western institutional racism, state violence, the connection between terrorism and racism, the x and to which -- extent to which the counterterrorist ideologies and approaches are transforming the way racism functions, transforming state violence. so, it is so exciting to see the facility with which young engagets are able to with this intersection of struggles. about racism and it is also about homophobia, transphobia, addressing able-ism. ofis about creating a sense international solidarity.

the extent to which palestine effortsme central to against racism in this country is an indication of how important international solidarity has become. write on palestine and the prison industrial complex. explain what g4s is. angela: it is the third-largest corporation in the world. it is a private security operation that engages in the ownership of p private prisons, private policing, and many other activities related to policing and surveillance. it is interestingly the corporation that hires s more people on the continent of africa than any other

corporation in the world. it is looking at the work that this corporation does -- it gives us a sense to which the extent that security, security as propoundeded by those who believe that security can only be achieved by violence, whether structural violence or actual violence. role inlayed a major upholding the occupation of palestine. we can see from palestine to private prisons all over the world to deportation, this company also provides transportation for the deportation of mexican immigrants. if one looks at the corporation, i think that all of the issues that we are addressing can be

.een in a sense, the privivate corpororations recognize the inintersectition analogy of isss and struggles -- the intersection of issues and stggles and we have to do that. amy: you right at the beginning onthis essay, "as i reflect the legacies of struggle we associate with mandela, i cannot help but think about the struggles that helped to forge his freedom and the arena in which south african apartheid was dismantled. what you bring to so much of an in-depth look of so much of what is happening here, but globalizing it. angela: and i think that we have to have a global perspective. we need to create a 21st-century internationalism.

none of the past struggles in this country took place in isolation from what was happening in the rest of this world. movements liberation helped to move struggles against racism in this country forward. palestine represents what it seems to me south africa represented in the 1980's and up until the end of apartheid. while we need to focus our attention on what is happening in latin america and asia and europe, of course the immigration struggle there, the racism that is so attached to europe,f refugees in

palestine seems to be that have enlarge,llows us to broaden consciousness. amy: angela davis, professor university ofe california, santa cruz. her latest book, "freedom is a constant struggle." when we come back, we will talk with angela -- davis about president obama's trip to cuba. ♪ [music break]

amy: this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. history months special, we continue our conversation with angela davis. last week, president obama became the first sitting u.s. president to visit cuba in 88

years. he met with cuban president castro and delivered an address to the cuban people, the first ever live address by a sitting u.s. president to cuba. one thing not discussed was the shakur. of asada she was shot twice by the police during a shootout in an incident. in 1979, she escaped from jail and fled to cuba. proclaimed her innocence. in 1998, democracy now! aired her reading an open letter to john paul the second. this is an excerpt. >> in 1977, i was convicted in a trial that can only be described

as a legal lynching. escape, i was able to with the aid of some of my fellow comrades. step,this as a necessary not only because i was innocent of the charges against me, but because i knew that the racist legal system in the united states -- i would receive no justice. i was also afraid that i would be murdered in prison. where iarrived in cuba, am currently living in a silent as a political refugee. amy: that was assata shakur speaking in 1998 in an open letter to pope john paul. our guest, professor angela davis, has been a longtime supporter of assata shakur. i asked her about assata shakur 's case and the thawing of u.s.-cuban relations. angela: i've been involved in the campaign to save assata shakur's life for all of those

decades. now that there are new openings with cuba, we welcome the e endf the embargo, but at the same time, we have to be attentive to what this might mean for assata shakur, given that there is a $2 million reward on her head, that she has been designanated as one of the 10 most dangerous terrorists in thee couountry. amy: and a former republican presidential candidate, chris christie, was really leading that charge. angela: absolutely. i think that now is the time to focus on assata shakur. we were talking about popular culture today. there was an episode of "madam secretary" in which a character like her was approached by the secretary of state and the

secretary of state acknowledged that she had been wrongly convicted and the issue is resolved by promising to provide the support of the state department in a new trial in the u.s. amy: and it was part of the process of normalization in "madam secretary." --was part of normalization when she goes down to cuba and her situation, they said cacase was instrumentatal in nonormalizing rerelations. lelet's go to a clipip of that. > t there are p people w w wu to come back to o serve yourur sentntence in the uniteded stat. what i if i could ensure thatatu woululd be in a a minimum sesecy prisison andnd that you would be eligible for parole e in three years?s? >> that would be convenient for you. i simply turn myself over to the

and the 1970's that continues to this day. the factalso mention that vast numbers of people are still behind bars from that era, members of the black panther , my codefendant fore has been in prison over 50 years. when we put all these things together, they create a kind of invitation for increased radical activism, for trying to resolve these issues that have been decades in the making. amy: angela davis, professor emeritus at university of california, santa cruz. her latest book is "freedom is a constant struggle." as we turn back right now to the race for the white house, again, on saturdaday, vermont senatator overwhelmings won

show in colorado. can you talk about the significance of this landslide this weekend? the corporate media hardly paid attention. erika: of course. amy: but it was a three state sweep. all threeere caucuses. why does bernie sanders do so well in these caucus contests? course.f bernie, we see in the media, when we had arizona, when we had -- manyious elections people in d.c. were asking him to drop out. he said we are still going to fight for the nomination. washington was one of those key states. we thought we were going to do well and we absolutely did. we did well in alaska and hawaii. amazinge us this momentum for our supporters and for the campaign to push forward. in washington state, more

than 200,000 people participated, which was close to the record set in 2008. erika: absolutely. the turnout was amazing. one of the things that is really amazing about our own supporters is that bernie supporters are very pumped up. they are very excited about going out to caucus. it is a lot of young people, a lot of new voters. for us, that gives us an advantage in the caucuses. it helps. it is people going to cast their ballots, going to rally, going to make a difference in how we can turn out the different precincts. talk about the significance of what happened in your state of arizona? you had people waiting on line for five hours. it turned out the massive cutback on polling places in , in maricopa county, 200

down to 60. they said they were e saving money? ererika: it was very unfortunat. we don't know what would have happened if it was different. for us and bernie said it, it really is a form of voter suppression. it is a form of disenfranchising voters. it was a very high turnout and we ended that seeing lineses around midninight. go for a moment to bernie sanders talking about arizona. senator sanders: democracy is the foundation of our way of life. people should not have to wait five hours to vote. what happened yesterday in arizona is a disgrace. i hope every state in this country learns about that and learns how to put together a proper election, where people can come in and vote in a timely manner and go back to work. amy: your response to what he said, erika andiola. erika: it is very unfortunate. i'm from arizona.

i really care about the fact that our people are excited about voting. we do have the general election coming up. we are putting out this message that says, don't be discouraged, this is about fighting back and making sure we do have voters who are abable to do this fast. amy: you are a well-known immigrants rights activist. you were undocumented. your house was raided, your mother and your brother were both taken by ice. you had to fight to hahave them released. erika: that's correct. amy: talk about that happening in 2013 and how you ended up working for bernie sanders. erika: it was definitely an eye-opener for me. i have been organizing immigrant rights for a couple of years, but i think that year, it was definitely -- it came home. ice came to my home. i really realized that i have daca now but many people are

still vulnerable. how can we make sure that we .eep families together other dreamers, he was willing to bring us and to help us to create a good platform. amy: earlier this month, we spoke to the civil rights , she hasdolores fuerta criticized bernie sanders record on immigration reform. >> we are completelyly in suppot of hillary simply because bernie just has not been there for the latino community. he had a really good opportunity in 2007 when senator ted kennedy , hillary clinton, senator durbin from illinois, when they proposed a good immiggration reformrm bill and we had all of

the momentum behind us at that point because we had all of these marchches all o over the cocountry. bernie, unfortunately, came out against that bill. amy: can you respond to this? absolutely. it is unfortunate that they do not put the entire story out there. this bill was one of the bills that, yes, a lot of people worked hard for, but they did put an amendment that terally allowed for workers to be able to be exploited. one of the things that bernie has fought for for so many years is making sure that workers, whoeoever they are, are treated the way they are supposed to be treated. they want to make sure we are and it -- paid fair wages are not paid slavery wages. bernie sanders was not going to support that and he was backed up by many organizations that support migrant rights. in 2013 come he came back again,
