Aretha Offers Angela Bail

ARETHA OFFERS ANGELA BAIL

NEW YORK (LNS)--Popular recording artist Aretha Franklin says she stands ready to post Angela Davis' bail "whether it's $100,000 or $250,000." 

"Angela Davis must go free" Aretha said. "Black people will be free. I've been locked up (for disturbing the peace in Detroit) and I know you've got to disturb the peace when you can't get no peace."

"Jail is hell to be in. I'm going to see her free if there is any justice in our courts, not because I believe in communism but because she's a black woman and she wants freedom for black people."

"I have the money; I got it from black people --they've made me financially able to have it, and I want to use it in ways that will help our people."
