Delivering this year's Helen Pond McIntyre '48

lecture less than one week before Barack Obama's presidential election,

Angela Y. Davis presents a new and wide-ranging vision of

the interconnections among issues of race, class, gender,

sexuality, and prison abolition. Davis provides a critical exploration of concepts of

civil rights and progress at a time of history-making political change. This lecture

took place on October 30, 2008 at The Great Hall of Cooper Union. (There is a short break

in the recording at around 59:35. We apologize for the disruption.)
