Angela Y. Davis is a political activist, scholar, author, and speaker. She is an outspoken advocate for the oppressed and exploited, writing on Black liberation, prison abolition, the intersections of race, gender, and class, and international solidarity with Palestine. She is the author of several books, includingWomen, Race, and ClassandAre Prisons Obsolete?She is the subject of the acclaimed documentaryFree Angela and All Political Prisonersand is Distinguished Professor Emerita at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
"The work of the political activist inevitably involves a certain
tension between the requirement that positions be taken on current
issues as they arise and the desire that one's contributions will
somehow survive the ravages of time. In this sense the most
difficult challenge facing the activist is to respond fully to the
needs of the moment and to do so in such a way that the light one
attempts to shine on the present Will simultaneously illuminate the
future."
