output this year, Angela is the title of a French song Yannick Noah (born 1960), I personally prefer the French, at this time and for some years now. We say that the whole family is made up of sports: He is a former tennis player (and still the best tennis so far as French is the only country to have won the tournament in Roland Garros), his father, an African, was the player, and Joakim is his son play basketball and the team is the Chicago Bulls.
Angela refers to Angela Davis (Born 1944), which will be discussed later. Accompanying us in the words of this song involved (as is often done in France for the songs) proposed here, we will try to contextualize the situation in 1968 and as to focus attention on that woman.
For convenience, the words were translated from French.
words in French:
1968, l'Amérique est Figee
A protest
ange Les écrous sont rouillés
I'm black and I'm proud
Le souffle des ghettos
Les gants noirs if Levent
Un soir à Mexico
Le rêve de Martin Luther King martyrisé
Une enfant nue brûlée
Bobby
being murdered Black Panther hunted
Lesson intolerance
This woman is guilty Guilty
hope
Oh Angela, Angela
My home is your home
Oh Angela, Angela
You know you'll never walk alone In November 2008
One night in Chicago
states who unite
And change skin
If the world tilts
And we talk about luck Angela
Tonight It's you that I think
Oh Angela, Angela
My home is your home
Oh Angela, Angela
You know you'll never walk alone

Oh Angela, Angela
My home is your home
Oh Angela, Angela
Ton nom dans nos vies résonne

Ton nom dans nos vies résonne.
words in Italian:
1968, America is paralyzed
An angel protest
nuts have rusted
I'm black and I'm proud
The breath of the ghettos
They get into a fist gloves blacks
One night in Mexico City
The dream of Martin Luther King was martyred
A naked girl burned
Bobby was assassinated
The black panther is hunted
lesson of intolerance
That woman is guilty Guilty of hope
Oh Angela, Angela
My home is your home
Oh Angela, Angela
You know you ' ll never walk alone
One evening in November 2008 in Chicago
states that join
changing skin
If the world bows
It speaks of
chance tonight I'll
Angela Oh Angela, Angela My
home is your home
Oh Angela, Angela
You know you'll never walk alone
Angela My Sister My Sister Angela
My home is your home
Angela My Sister My Sister Angela
Your name in our lives vibrates
Oh Angela, Angela
My home is your home
Oh Angela, Angela
Your name in our lives vibrates
Angela My Sister My Sister Angela
My home is your home
Angela My Sister My Sister Angela
Your name vibrates in our lives.
1968 is a very important year. Worldwide, there is an awakening that shakes the mind. It is, so to speak, a moral and ideological crisis because at that time it introduces the concept of freedom (the status of women, the "Blacks" put under the yoke of the "White "...). The world is expressed, by the way, and discusses, for example, war. In the United States in Chicago in August, many students call into question the Vietnam War and the American way of life (American Way of Life), clashing with security forces. A few months earlier, South Carolina, three students died showing Americans their civil rights.
In France, as far as we can tell, there was a riot to triple aspect. "Mai 68" has been the period that marked a caesura in cultural, social, political and bounce, it has become over the years, an important date pin in the contemporary history and head of all. This state of crisis has developed in three stages:
1) The crisis of the university student with the occupation of the university (that was the first ... Nanterre Paris IV - La Sorbonne became the last bastion) and with the appearance of personalities such as Daniel Cohn - Bendit (called Dany Le Rouge, because he had dyed his hair red), a student at the time of the extreme left, who led the student movement. Today Daniel Cohn - Bendit has joined the world of politics, the environment.
2) The crisis in the working class (general strike which will continue even after the conclusion of the Grenelle Accords)
3) The political crisis that leads to the dissolution of the National Assembly and the resignation of President Charles de Gaule, which was repaired in the meantime, in Baden Baden, a German city, by his friend Gen. Massu).
But back to our subject, do not get away ...
For Angela Davis, 1968 was the year when he got a degree but is also the year that he began to do the teaching at the university. At the same time became a campaigner for the Communist Party and the Black Panthers. The Black Panthers, an organization which is named after the original Black Panthers, were created in the late 60s to free African Americans from all heavy discrimination, whatever that is.
Meanwhile, in the ghetto, the black community was the victim of raids and had to fight against the authorities. The riots are suppressed, caused by the insurgency would not accept the abuse, the lynchings in public ...
There was only Martin Luther King (note here the remarkable speech http://www.peacelink.it/storia/a/5433.html) to seek an equal sign between the "races" (his word that I personally hate) and to protest against such inhuman methods but there were other African Americans. In response to the struggles of black power and protest against unhealthy this atmosphere, this rampant racism, Tommie Smith and John Carlos, two athletes, two sprinters, raised their gloved clenched fists in black in Mexico City.
We are always crazy at this time for the United States, a federal warlike people who bomb innocent and harmless, to shots of napalm, and usually the sole reason for going to war. We all remember this photo taken in 1972 which toured the world, who has a daughter, Kim Phum, a resident of South Vietnam, which escapes to the naked photographer to raise some 'repulsion.
should be said that well as the political class, the highest offices of state, is affected. When the singer mentions "Bobby", alluding to the brother of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Robert Francis Kennedy, who bore this nickname. That presidential candidate wanted to refresh, like his brother, hope in a country thirsting for justice and freedom. June 5, 1968 will be murdered while engaged in the fight against organized crime. The links between her killing and that of his brother still has not been assessed.
Send "evokes the hunt for which they were victims of the Black Panthers and in person, same as Angela Davis - seriously - was" hunted ". The U.S. government began to keep an eye on when he became aware of his belonged to two groups. Given his views, is dismissed by the University of California at which he taught for a year. In 1970, the rage against it really takes shape with its inclusion on the list of most wanted by the FBI. Accused of conspiracy to free George Jackson (another black militant Black Panther), arming prisoners. She had to escape the police for two weeks. He could find refuge from the Americans whose homes had humble folders with the phrase, "Angela My Sister, My home is your home" but he did not and will be in a hotel. Will freed after his acquittal.
The last episode to which you refer is that of November 8, 2008, the day is a victory for Barack Obama in the presidential elections. Chicago is the bastion of the former senator. This jump in time (1970 => 2008) shows the evolution of thought in the world and specifically in the United States.
