She spoke with so much passion and delicacy that the audience stayed engaged. Davis did not only share her story, but also provided this generation with advice and information that will remember for a lifetime. Through being in awe that I was in the same room as Angela Davis, I managed to jot down some notes about her story and additional information about the…
