When high school students in Rockland County, New York, invited renowned activist and professor Angela Davis to speak, the event got shut down in two different venues over protests that she was too radical." But the students persevered, and Angela Davis addressed a packed church Thursday night. I talked about the importance of recognizing that through struggle, through organized struggle, through the efforts of people who come together and join hands and join their voices together, we've made changes in this country," says Davis.
