"To Be Great Is To Be Misunderstood" by Ralph Waldo Emerson and "Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History".....Two of my favorite quotes!


Tonight I went to see a documentary about the political life of the Great Angela Davis, and Angela Davis, herself, was in the place. (You must see this documentary.)




Angela is the lady in the middle!

Seeing Angela and watching this documentary, I learned so many things about Angela such as the fact that she was a master scholar who studied at the Sorbonne, she studied Philosophy at Brandeis University in Massachusetts with Herbert Marcuse, and she earned a graduate degree from University of California, San Diego.

However, she was on the United States most wanted list, she spent time in jail, the President of the United States, Nixon, commented on her not-guilty verdict....

A Penny For Your Thoughts!

Angela Davis

I would love to know what Angela Davis, an icon of the Black liberation movement of the 1970s, was thinking when this picture was taken.

I would give from one penny to a whole lot more to know her thoughts...

Here is a current picture of one of my dear friends, Dr. Denard, and Angela Davis.

Happy Thursday and Black History Month!
