Dear Lisbet,

Thank you for the amazing presentation of your collection on Angela Davis. It was fascinating to learn about her work with the Panthers and her activism regarding anti racist and anti capitalist movements. I was struck by how down to earth she seemed to be despite her status as a Black Power icon. Your depth of knowledge was incredible and I am so grateful that you were willing to share not only your collection, but the story of one of your close friends. I am interested in the relationship between her race, sexuality, and spirituality. While it seemed like her racial identity was the most salient to her, I am wondering how these other components of her identity complimented or contradicted her race. Did her sexuality or spiritual practices inform some of her activism strategies? If she had been more openly queer, would she have been able to make the same impact in the Black community? I think her life is so inspiring, and I would love to find out more about some of the nuanced parts of her identity. Thank you again for the wonderful exhibit!
