A collection of 27 pamphlets, books and related ephemera concering the imprisonment and trial of Angela Davis, published during and immediately after her 18-month incarceration.

The materials illustrate the efforts of several Free Angela Davis support groups in spreading her story and raising funds for her defense. While several of the books and pamphlets were produced late in her incarceration and immediately following her release, most were distributed in the days and months following her arrest. They show the grassroots efforts, particularly in the cities of New York, Philadelphia, and San Francisco, to disseminate trial news and personal pleas of support from Davis and other prominent members of the African-American community.

The books and pamphlets generally describe the events surrounding Davis's trial, including opening and closing statements, questionable legal wrangling, and pledges of support from political, African-American, and international communities; one pamphlet written in German and another a translation from a German politician.
