Angela Davis: Abolition Democracy and Global Politics
Delivering this year’s Helen Pond McIntyre ’48 lecture less than one week before Barack Obama’s presidential election, Angela Y. Davis presents a new and wide-ranging vision of the interconnections among issues of race, class, gender, sexuality, and prison abolition. Davis provides a critical exploration of concepts of civil rights and progress at a time of history-making political change. This lecture took place on October 30, 2008 at The Great Hall of Cooper Union.
