Dr. Angela Davis will be joining us in a virtual conversation with artist Sadie Barnette and local activist Judith Sadora.Through her activism and scholarship over the last decades, Angela Davis has been deeply involved in our nation’s quest for social justice. Her work as an educator – both at the university level and in the larger public sphere – has always emphasized the importance of building communities of struggle for economic, racial, and gender justice. Professor Davis’ teaching career has taken her to San Francisco State University, Mills College, and UC Berkeley. She also has taught at UCLA, Vassar, the Claremont Colleges, and Stanford University. She spent the last fifteen years at the University of California, Santa Cruz where she is now Distinguished Professor Emerita of History of Consciousness, an interdisciplinary Ph.D program, and of Feminist Studies.

PRESENTER SPOTLIGHT

Jaylyn Suppah will be sharing her work with Papalaxsimisha. Jaylyn is a mother, educator, advocate for social justice and a member of the Confederated Tribe of Warm Springs (CTWS). She was raised in Simnasho, Oregon and is a traditional food gatherer for her Tribe. She is a mother of two beautiful children. Her Indian name is Alish (Ah-lish) which was given to her from her namesake; Margaret Suppah, her grandmother who raised her. Her passion is decolonizing education for herself, her children, her community, and always looks for ways to incorporate her culture into her home, classroom and programming. She developed the Papalaxsimisha program which incorporates historical trauma, healing, self-identity, cultural awareness, high school readiness, college and career readiness in a curriculum she and two other native teachers developed.

A REFLECTION OF SELF

SPECIAL LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT World MUSE acknowledges that we are settlers on the traditional homelands of the Confederation of the Warm Springs, Wasco and Paiute Native American Tribes. We are all treaty signers, and are thus responsible and accountable for the historical and present day violence that Indigenous people face. Until action is taken to identify and empower Indigenous people, until accurate history is taught, and until land-based justice is carried out, a land acknowledgement statement feels mostly empty and alienating. World Muse has committed to making annual reparations to the Warm Springs Tribal Council as a small but necessary action. We invite you to learn more about whose land we reside on and find ways to take action.
