Dear Lisbet

Dear Lisbet,

 What an incredible collection you have!  And even more wonderful than the collection itself is your passion for the collection and Angela Davis' life's mission which was clear as you soon as you started talking. I am so glad that you took the time from your day to speak with us. I must admit that I knew Angela as a political prisoner activist who was/is one of the most powerful voices arguing for racial equality. I was very unfamiliar with other aspects of her life including the fact that she identified as queer. I think that her sexuality adds a powerful element to her already defiant personage. It was also a surprise to me that she had spent time abroad and was a philosophy professor. I knew she was a professor but had always assumed that she had worked in the political science department. I am so thankful for the opportunity to learn more about Angela movement that she helped create - a movement whose mission still thrives today.

Thanks again,

Jordan
