Inspiring weave of history into present struggles across race, gender, and systemic oppression.
4 stars
A little repetitive at times but maybe necessarily so. This was a collection of speeches and interviews Angela Davis has given on the topics of systemic oppression through violent institutions like the police and how it works with foreign military to weaponize itself against its citizens. . .
How these systems differently affect different groups but how we each become stronger together -- like when a gay square dancer meets a black square dancer and creates something even bigger and stronger. . .
It's wild to think I remember when these protests were happening, and that they are now part of a long line of important civil rights demonstrations. And certain to have more struggles ahead, so this is timely history for any activist to pick up.
