Summary of Angela Y. Davis's If They Come in the Morning...

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 There has been a long history of Americans trying to figure out how to deal with unjust laws and the oppressive social order that they emanate from. The conservative uses visions of impending anarchy to justify his demand for absolute obedience. The liberal always seeks redress through electoral channels.

#2 The Underground Railroad was a series of illegal activities conducted by many people, both Black and white, to rescue fugitive slaves from the clutches of slave-catchers.

#3 The political prisoner’s offense is his political boldness, his persistent challenging of fundamental social wrongs fostered and reinforced by the state. He has opposed unjust laws and exploitative, racist social conditions with the ultimate aim of transforming these laws and this society into an order harmonious with the material and spiritual needs and interests of the vast majority of its members.

#4 The significance of the executions of Nat Turner and John Brown wasn’t just that they were punished for specific crimes, but that they were used to terrorize the anti-slavery movement as a whole.
