Angela Davis: We Have To Talk About Liberating Minds As Well As Liberating Society


We live in a society of an imposed forgetfulness, a society that depends on public amnesia.

We have to talk about liberating minds as well as liberating society.

I'm no longer accepting the things I cannot change...I'm changing the things I cannot accept.

I believe profoundly in the possibilities of democracy, but democracy needs to be emancipated from capitalism. As long as we inhabit a capitalist democracy, a future of racial equality, gender equality, economic equality will elude us.

- Angela Davis
