Abstract
Angela Davis was radicalized at a young age. From her life as a child in Birmingham, Alabama, to moving to New York City for high school, she was met with racism and prejudice. As she moved on to Brandeis University, she met Herbert Marcuse who radically changed how she thought about philosophy. She studied under him at the University of California at San Diego where he taught her how to marry philosophy with her goals as an advocate and organizer.
