Davis Discusses Justice Freedom and Solidarity at Tougaloo

Tougaloo College hosted a lecture Tuesday night featuring professor, author, and activist Angela Davis. The event, part of the school’s Voices for a Just World lecture series, explored themes of justice, freedom, and global solidarity.

Connections Between Civil Rights and Global Human Rights

She emphasized the importance of ongoing organizing efforts in response to violence, repression, and systemic inequality. Davis encouraged the audience to recognize the interconnectedness of local and international movements for justice.

Adapting Strategies for Change

Davis stated that evolving global circumstances, influenced by ongoing struggles, necessitate new approaches to activism. She cautioned against limiting strategies to those employed in the past.
