Abolition: A Multigenerational Perspective Featuring Angela Davis at OMCA

Centering past and contemporary abolition movements, this powerful event features activist, scholar, and author Angela Davis in conversation with former Oakland Youth Poet Laureate and author of the critically-acclaimed novel, Nightcrawling, Leila Mottley, and National Movement Building Director from the Black Organizing Project, Jessica Black, whose long-term and ultimately successful efforts abolished the OUSD police force. The conversation is moderated by Cat Brooks, co-founder of the Anti Police-Terror Project and Executive Director of "The Justice Teams Network.”
This discussion is a part of our exhibition Angela Davis - Seize the Time, examining the image, influence, and activism of the Oakland-based icon. Traveling to the West Coast after its debut at the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University, Seize the Time offers a deeper look into the life of Angela Davis through the lens of race, gender, economics, and policy.
This exhibition is on view now through June 11, 2023.
