Join us for an evening with Angela Davis—professor emerita, activist, writer, and one of the most influential voices in the global struggle for justice. Her work examines the intersections of race, gender, and class, with a particular focus on prisons, policing, and abolition. Author of numerous groundbreaking books, including Angela Davis: An Autobiography and co-author of Abolition.Feminism.Now., Dr. Davis continues to challenge us to imagine new futures beyond the prison industrial complex. This special event will feature a moderated conversation with Dr. Derrick Harriell, offering powerful dialogue and reflection on building a more just world.
