The entire Angela Davis lecture was phenomenal. She discussed so many topics and interacted with the audience, which turned the lecture into a fun experience and not only informative but also very entertaining to listen to and watch. I would grade the lecture with an A. I love how she related everything from the past to present because in reality not much has changed when it comes to racism and slavery and the challenges we face as not only African American but also being an African American woman. One of my favorite parts was how she ended the lecture with a question and answer portion and how many of the students were not afraid to ask very challenging questions and of course her response was just as in depth.

Angela Davis discussed was the relevant of abolitionist of racism and imprisonment. It’s not the same racism we experienced years ago, its more intense. She used Donald Trump as a great example. I loved the way she made the analogy that the Republican Party created a sort of Frankenstein that they can no longer control. It is sad but the truthful part of it all is Donald trump is just saying all of the stuff they think and believe anyway. Dr. Angela Davis also mentioned her personal experience in prison. She talked about it briefly; I wish she got more in depth about what she went through. Regarding the topic of imprisonment she talked about how as African Americans people don’t realize that we are still considered a minority but in prison we make up more than 50% of the population in prison and the increasing rate of black woman in prisons now. She also feels like there should be Pell Grants in prison and they should have never been taken away. She has a strong opinion about education and how it should be free period because even public education is something that is available only if you are able to pay for it.
The last point Dr. Angela Davis made was about black feminists. Black feminism is anti racism feminism, decolonial feminist. She stated, “We recognized that race is always gender and gender is always race”. She talked about how she first met members of the Black Panther party in prison and how she expresses the importance of remembering those who did not make it. It was interesting to know that even after she was released from prison in 1971 she still to this day visits those who were members of the Black panther party but are still
