Angela Davis

Angela Yvonne Davis is an American political activist and plays an incredible role in our society right now. Not only do her interests and passions lie with women’s rights, but also with African-American culture, consciousness, and justices. Everything she stands for are critical at this point in time in our society.

"“Black women have had to develop a larger vision of our society than perhaps any other group. They have had to understand white men, white women, and black men. And they have had to understand themselves. When black women win victories, it is a boost for virtually every segment of society.”"

She started the “black lives matter” movement before that even became a movement. In a time where people aren’t understanding this tag line, and ignorantly changing it to “all lives matter,” what better way to stand with this than portraying a person like Angela Davis. She’s also an author, so paint some cardboard boxes with the covers of her books, and go around preaching the equality between sexes and races.
