Angela Davis’ keynote at the 20th Walter Rodney Symposium tonight -awe-inspiring! Decades later & she is still as passionate and committed to Black liberation and racial justice. Reminding us that capitalism is racism. Black women still at the vanguard!! 🙅🏾♀️@RodneyProject

Today marks the 81st anniversary of Walter Rodney's birth. Rodney, a historian and activist, is cherished for his intellectual thought in full display in books such as How Europe Underdeveloped Africa.
