From The Vault

This week on From the Vault we present a con­ver­sa­tion between Pro­fes­sor Angela Davis and the Uni­ver­si­ty of South­ern California’s Dr. Michele Turn­er at an event enti­tled Angela Davis: A Life­time of Rev­o­lu­tion. On Mon­day Feb­ru­ary 23rd, 2015, the Uni­ver­si­ty of South­ern California’s Black Stu­dent Assem­bly and Speak­ers Com­mit­tee, togeth­er with a litany of USC group cospon­sors, host­ed Amer­i­can polit­i­cal activist, schol­ar, and author Angela Davis. A full house of 1500 stu­dents and edu­ca­tors gath­ered in USC’s Bovard Audi­to­ri­um to lis­ten to Pro­fes­sor Davis trace her expe­ri­ences grow­ing up in Alaba­ma and her quest to find free­dom out­side the South. Dr. Michele Turn­er guides the con­ver­sa­tion to address many of the impor­tant moments in Davis’s life includ­ing her child­hood, her ear­ly days teach­ing at UCLA, her arrest in the ear­ly 1970’s, the Free Angela Davis Cam­paign, and her cur­rent work illu­mi­nat­ing root caus­es of the Prison Indus­tri­al Com­plex – which Davis argues dis­pro­por­tion­ate­ly incar­cer­ates men and women of col­or. Before we hear this con­ver­sa­tion, though, we’ll lis­ten to a mon­tage of record­ings broad­cast on Paci­fi­ca Radio of Angela Davis, span­ning from 1969 to the Occu­py Wall Street Move­ment in 2011.
