Angela Davis hosted a conference with NPR with an audience of mostly young people. The conference is titled "What Will You Say In 2030?" Davis encourages her audience to think of the present as history in the making, and to truly analyze the past, present, and future to synchronize them into a coordination of meaningful events. Davis articulates the importance of activism and reclaiming the future of humanity. Davis articulates the racist agenda behind Aboriginal incarceration in Australia, the Reagan administration and the war on drugs, prison population, the death penalty, education, and corporate America. The concealment of private agendas and groups influencing national law and social structure is another point Davis makes. In this conference, Davis ultimately stresses the importance of critical thinking when analyzing the causes, effects, intentions, and implications of political history socially, racially, and economically and learning to create a solid understanding of history's affect and importance on the present and the future.
