Titled “A New Generation Finding its Voice,” the Dymally Distinguished Speaker Series is hosted in celebration of Black History Month by CSUDH’s Mervyn M.

Davis is a leading voice in the activism and academic discourse around geopolitical injustice, who for half century has been at the center of America’s cultural and intellectual transformation. She has worked as a professor and activist who advocates gender equity, prison reform, and alliances across color lines.

Davis is the author of several books, most recently Freedom Is A Constant Struggle (2015), and The Meaning of Freedom: And Other Difficult Dialogues (2012). Both books will be for sale at the lecture.

The Mervyn M. Dymally African American Political & Economic Institute is a non-partisan public engagement think tank founded to study and research African American leadership, public policy impacting African American communities, and to prepare future generations for public service.
