Nina Simone also showed her support by visiting Angela Davis in jail and gave her a balloon to lift her spirits up. In the 2012 documentary Free Angela and All Political Prisoners, Davis recalled: “Nina Simone came and visited me for a long time. She came in with a balloon, which the jailers did not want me to have, but I fought for that balloon because I love Nina Simone!”
