Angela Davis, a well-known activist and professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz, will speak on “Collective Accountability and Responsibility.” “An Evening with Angela Davis” is part of the college’s Voices of Color Lecture Series created to recognize Hamilton’s commitment to cultural diversity. Each year, the series sponsors a lecture by an influential leader of color.
Davis, who previously spoke at Hamilton as part of the same series in 2016, took part in the College’s Junior Year in France program during the 1963-64 academic year.
