Notorious Red led Women's March
Writer Diana West pointed out that the vehemently anti-Trump women's march of 2017 had Red revolutionary Angela Davis as a featured speaker and honorary co-chairperson.
Libertarian journalist Cathy Young wrote that Davis's "long record of support for political violence in the United States and the worst of human rights abusers abroad" undermined the march.
During the 1970s she visited Marxist-Leninist-governed countries and during the 1980s was twice the Communist Party's candidate for Vice President. In 1991, amid the dissolution of the Soviet Union, she left the party and joined the breakaway Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism. Also in 1991, she joined the feminist studies department at the University of California, Santa Cruz, where she became department director before retiring in 2008. Since then she has continued to write and remained active in movements such as Occupy and the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign.
In 1970, Davis purchased firearms for people who used them in an armed takeover of a courtroom in Marin County, California, in which four people were killed, including the judge. She was eventually acquitted of involvement in the armed revolutionary action.
In both presidential campaigns, Davis was the running mate of Gus Hall, U.S. Communist Party chairman, for whom President Obama's CIA director, John Brennan voted when he was a student in 1976. Brennan is a vociferous critic of President Trump.
