Angela Davis will be speaking at Central Connecticut State University in New Britain on Thursday, April 24th. She will be taking part in two panel discussions, the first at 2:00 titled “Are Prisons Obsolete?” and the second at 5:30 titled “Race, Class and Gender Issues in American Society.” The talks are in Torp Theatre in Davidson Hall.
My window looks out on a church parking lot, and I was gazing in that direction yesterday while the Foodshare truck was parked there. The line for provisions was alarmingly long, with quite a few children waiting alongside their parents. I don’t know how people shop in such a line, whether they get to ask for what they need or just take what’s offered, but they weren’t walking away with much, a bag or two.
