Author and activist Angela Davis will present a guest lecture at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, March 9, in Neumiller Lecture Hall, located in Bradley Hall on the Bradley University campus. The event, which is presented by Bradley’s Women’s Studies Program and the Intellectual and Cultural Activities Committee, is open to the public and admission is free.
Davis, who once appeared on the FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted List,” is now a professor of history of consciousness and feminist studies at the University of California Santa Cruz. In her lecture, “Gender, Race, and Crime,” she will discuss the criminalization of those communities that are most affected by poverty and racial discrimination – with a particular focus on women.
Davis has lectured throughout the world and she is the author of eight books. She also works with several advocacy groups, including Justice Now, which provides legal assistance to women in prison and engages in support for the abolition of imprisonment as the dominant strategy for addressing social problems.

My sister said she was AMAZING! She was so excited to get a picture with her :)
Can you send me your email address? I've got some pictures from Haiti :)
I was not able to make it - but my teenage daughter was there and was simply in awe. So much so, that she did not approach Ms. Davis to get my Life magazine autographed (the one shown on the post). Doggonit I wanted that magazine signed so bad.... Oh well.
Can't wait to hear about your Haiti trip. If you wanted to pen something I would love to post it with your photos. This is my e-mail address: emergepeoria@comcast.net.
