Oct. 10, Tuesday -- Former '60s radical Angela Davis will address current events and the role people, particularly women, have in making changes. Davis is now professor of history of consciousness at UC Santa Cruz and has been given a prestigious presidential chair. In 1970 she was placed on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List when she was charged with conspiracy, kidnapping and homicide in connection with her alleged participation in an attempt to free Black Panther George Jackson from a Marin County courtroom. Davis subsequently was the defendant in one of the most famous trials in recent U.S. history. Held in jail for 16 months, during which she was supported by a large, international "Free Angela Davis" campaign, she was ultimately acquitted in 1972. Currently, Davis focuses on racial and gender equality and an effort to end prisons. Sponsored by the ºÙºÙÊÓƵ Women's Resources and Research Center, the free talk will be in Freeborn Hall from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. but seating is limited.
