Angela Davis: We always forget the context of sexual violence

Activist and educator Angela Davis spoke at Duke on Feb. 27. Drawing upon her experiences in the early seventies, which spending 18 months in jail and being on the FBI's "Ten Most Wanted List," Davis detailed the need to forge a 21st century abolitionist movement. The event was co-sponsored by the Baldwin Scholars, African and African American Studies (AAAS), Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies, the History Department, the Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture, the Office of Undergraduate Scholars & Fellows (OUSF), Trinity College, and the Women's Center.
