 '''Angela Yvonne Davis''' is a self-identified [[lesbian]] [[radical]] [[feminist]] [[Communist]] retired [[professor]] (from the [[University of California]], [[Santa Cruz]]) and [[leftist]] [[activist]] on [[social]] and [[human rights]] issues who had close relations with the [[Black Panther Party]] during the [[Civil rights movement]].<ref>[https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/race/interviews/davis.html PBS Frontline interview]</ref> Davis was also a prominent member of the [[Communist Party USA]]. She is currently Professor of History of Consciousness at the [[University of California]], Santa Cruz.<ref>[http://humwww.ucsc.edu/HistCon/faculty_davis.htm Faculty bio at UC Santa Cruz]</ref>
 Studying under [[Herbert Marcuse]], a prominent figure in the [[Frankfurt School]], Davis became increasingly engaged in [[far-left]] politics. Returning to the U.S., she studied at the University of California, San Diego before moving to Communist [[East Germany]], where she was granted a doctorate in the Marxist school in Berlin.
 Back in the U.S., she joined the [[Communist Party USA]] and became involved in [[Marxist organizing]], the [[Black Panther Party]], anti-[[Vietnam War]] protests, and "second-wave" feminism. In 1969, with the East German degree, she was hired as an acting assistant professor of philosophy at [[UCLA]]. UCLA's governing Board of Regents soon fired her due to her Communist Party membership; after a court ruled the firing was illegal, the university fired her again, this time for her use of inflammatory language.
