	Angela Davis
		Davis is well-known for her role in the Black power movement as a member of the Black Panther and Communist parties.
		Davis began her lecture by pointing out a little known fact: Prisons were not used as primary modes of punishment until the American Revolution.
		As Davis points out, many companies have benefited from the rise in inmate populations: Among them are the construction companies that build all the new prisons; the food companies that provide meals to the inmates; and the electronic, soap, and telephone companies that provide services inside the prisons, to mention only a few.

		DAVIS: Well, we see an increasingly weaker labor movement as a result of the overall assault on the labor movement and as a result of the globalization of capital.
