"Angela Davis is a loved political activist, author, scholar, and professor. Davis contributed a lot to the Black Panther Party and worked hard for the advancement in the Civil Rights Movement. Davis was also very involved in Prisoners rights, and feminist theory (and where Women of color fit into mainstream white feminism). She also fought hard for the advancement of LGBTQ rights. Overall Angela Davis is a queer women of color whose list of activism efforts goes on and on. Angela Davis did and continues to spread her efforts to all types of oppression and injustices."
"Born with brilliance into a socially-conscious family, Angela Davis was essentially destined to be the determined, established advocate and academic she is today. Her counterculture teachings about black liberation, inclusive feminism, LGBT equality, the war in Vietnam, and the prison industrial complex, as well as her affiliation with the Communist Party USA led the FBI to track Angela, label her a terrorist and enemy of the state, and jail her in the 1970s. Her impact on social justice was palpable, though, as "Free Angela Davis" became a common slogan for those working for change. Angela's messages continue to inspire new generations, as she still actively speaks around the country about creating a more just society."
"We have to talk about liberating minds as well as liberating society."
-Angela Davis
