U.S. hearts Angela Davis Month
Social-justice fraud explains approval of anti-U.S. terror(from blackvoicenews.com)As Black History Month moved to a close, the flags of solidarity, freedom, feminism, activism and diversity in higher education hung dancing in a breeze over Santos Manuel Student Union Center on February 25, 2010. The Women’s Resource Center hosted the legendary feminist Angela R. Davis, who provided a lecture to over 700 students and guests from the community.
Upon introduction, Dr. Davis received a standing ovation. Then a hush fell over the auditorium, with only the sound of camera flashes clicking.
Gone was the iconic afro, the fixed glare, and firm radical resilience of a Black woman’s struggle in America’s racially divided world.
What was present was a head full of loose ringlet curls, eyes that spanned every living soul, beauty, grace, elegance, and a unified ability through her activism, and the swing of her hands, to speak about social injustice to a rainbow colored room of onlookers mesmerized with her stature and awe.
