MOCA Audio - The Tornberg Lecture Series : Angela Davis (pt. 1) | Angela Davis is known internationally for her ongoing work to combat all forms of oppression in the U.S. and abroad. Over the years, she has been active as a student, teacher, writer, scholar, and organizer; she is a living witness to the historical struggles of the contemporary era. Davis’ political activism began as a youth in Birmingham, Alabama. In 1969 she came to national attention after being removed from her teaching position at UCLA as a result of her social activism and her membership in the Communist Party, USA. In 1970, she was placed on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted List on false charges, and was the subject of an intense police search that drove her underground and culminated in one of the most famous trials in recent history. A massive international “Free Angela Davis” campaign led to her acquittal in 1972. Harnessing the momentum of that campaign, she co-founded the National Alliance Against Racism and Political Repression, which continues its work today. Professor Davis has lectured in all 50 states, as well as in Africa, Europe, the Caribbean and the former Soviet Union. She is author of five books including “Angela Davis: An Autobiography” and “Women, Race and Class”. Looking at the legacies and potentials of feminism in relation to WACK! Art and the Feminist Revolution, the The Ralph Tornberg/Museum Director’s Distinguished Lecture Series series investigates how feminist thinking on all levels—social, artistic, political, psychological and theoretical—is important in our cultural life. Recorded June 10, at the Colburn School's Herbert Zipper Concert Hall | 14 1 10 | Free | View In iTunes |
