===Cuba=== After her acquittal, Davis went on an international speaking tour in 1972 and the tour included a trip to [[Cuba]], where she had previously been received by [[Fidel Castro]] as a member of a Communist Party delegation in 1969.<ref name="Seidman">{{cite web|last1=Seidman|first1=Sarah|title=Feminism and Revolution: Angela Davis in Cuba|url=https://aha.confex.com/aha/2015/webprogram/Paper16621.html|website=American Historical Association|date=January 3, 2015|access-date=March 9, 2017|archive-date=July 13, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210713084711/https://aha.confex.com/aha/2015/webprogram/Paper16621.html|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Robert F. Williams]], [[Huey Newton]] and Stokely Carmichael had also visited Cuba, and [[Assata Shakur]] later moved there after she escaped from a U.S. prison. At a mass rally held by [[Afro-Cubans]], she was reportedly barely able to speak because her reception was so enthusiastic.<ref>{{cite book|last=Gott|first=Richard|author-link=Richard Gott|title=Cuba: A New History|publisher=Yale University Press|year=2004|location=New Haven, Connecticut|page=[https://archive.org/details/cubanewhistory0000gott/page/230 230]|isbn=0-300-10411-1|url=https://archive.org/details/cubanewhistory0000gott/page/230}}</ref> Davis perceived that Cuba was a [[racism in Cuba|racism]]-free country, which led her to believe that "only under socialism could the fight against racism be successfully executed." When she returned to the U.S., her socialist leanings increasingly influenced her understanding of racial struggles.<ref name=Cuba>{{cite book|last=Sawyer|first=Mark|title=Racial Politics in Post-Revolutionary Cuba|year=2006|publisher=University of California|location=Los Angeles|pages=95β97}}</ref> In 1974, she attended the Second Congress of the [[Federation of Cuban Women]].<ref name="Seidman"/>
