BLACK IN TIME: A Moment In OUR History

THANK YOU for sharing that insight, Irma!!! VERY INTERESTING!!

Gaddy, here is something very few people know about Angela Y. Davis...her job as asst Dean when a lot of this came about was due to Dr. John Steward who gave her his job in the Dean's office so he could go back to college to study anthropology...Dr. Steward when he bacame the head of our African and African-American study dept.at UCD (he personally put the African on it..smile)

He told us how he had some of the Black Panthers in his class and after one day the FBI came put a gun to his head and told him to point out all of the members of the Panthers in his class caused him to have an epethmy of why were these young Black males and females were so determined in their quest to get us an African-centured education in our public school...he said he had to go back to the beginning to learn why we held on to our African identity so strongly...

SLOWLY BUT SURELY WE WILL LEARN ABOUT THESES THINGS, BECAUSE THIS IS THE ONLY WAY WE WILL BE ABLE TO END THIS DIVISION AMONGE OUR OWNSELVES AS WE DO NOW....

THANK YOU GADDY FOR ALL THAT YOU DO...

Another story I love to tell is about meeting Ms Davis in person.

My student partner in a final research paper and I choose to do Ms Davis.I would do all of the research and she would do the writting of the term paper. I made an appoint to go to San Fran State to interview her and, to sit in on one of her class lectures in Black Women study. She was not in her office when I arrives, so I stood in the empty floor I was on to wait for her...

Gaddy, I knew the moment that Ms Davis stepped into that building, because I felt her when she did...This has never happened to me before experiencing this and it has never happened again...THIS IS A POWERFUL FEMALE...
