I love Angela Davis. I really need to learn more about her. I saw this video posted somewhere during 2020, and for folks who can resist the urge to impatiently skip past what she's setting up in the beginning, the payoff at the end of her response to the banal question of whether she supports violence for her cause is (IMO) exceptionally powerful.

It's actually kinda short, but the first time I watched it I think I didn't expect what she describes at the beginning to play so directly into her final words, nor to be so very personal at one tragic point. I think I was kinda going "OK I know awful things were happening back then" I'm embarrassed to say. Once realizing that she was putting all that together for a specific purpose, I had to go back and watch it word for word - so I could have been projecting my own general impatience with video clips onto others. :)
