A booklet documenting the script of a radio play written by East German author and journalist, Maximilian Scheer. The radio play was written and performed in solidarity of Angela Davis during her incarceration and was created to bring awareness to listeners. Davis had a large following in the GDR after her imprisonment in 1970. East Germans saw her as an example of the systemic racism prevalent in Western capitalist society. Davis was later acquitted and visited East Germany in 1972.
