Angela Davis


I had like three pics, but only this one showed up.lol. But, that is Angela Davis! If you don't know who she is, shame on you and look her up!!

She spoke at Mills on Monday. It was phenomenal, hella people, packed house, they had to turn people away. She talked about what Black History really means and who and why we should honor certain people for uplifting, empowering, making a contribution to black people and not just honor them because they are black!

She touched on many subjects with intelligence and keen and interesting insight, she would have had a captive audience for three hours I think.lol. But, she only spoke for about an hour. Her new campaign/passion is extreme prison reform, meaning "abolishing prisons!" She works with Critical Resistance a prison reform group, look them up and look up the prison industrial complex! She connected prisons and slavery and racism, capitalism, all to how are prisons work and why everything else in this country is fucked up. Also, she called for multigenerational, multicultural, multigendered, multi-sexuality, multi multi.lol.coalitions to sustain any real change.

We must work together!
