In this conversation, Angela Davis is joined by Jackie Kay, one of Britain’s most acclaimed authors who in 2016 was named the Scots Makar, the poet laureate of Scotland. Throughout her extensive collections of writings, she is known for her powerful affirmation of the power of human connection in the context of shared struggle. Kay has explored the role and power of language, the ties of family and inheritance, as well as the histories and experiences of Afro-Caribbean people, and the ongoing legacies of the Atlantic slave trade.
