Rowan Blanchard & Yara Shahidi Meet Dr. Angela Davis

Our dreams will constitute the space in which the people after us will inhabit⚡️Dr. Angela Davis ⚡️ Today at the Underground Museum was, quite simply, electric ⚡️ To be able to absorb the knowledge/advice and energy of the many leaders I met today was not only reenergizing, but motivating. I am witness to the work and love of Black activists and the humanist progression that comes from our movements. To take care of our community and to continually push society to recreate systems rather than reform the type of oppression we endure, will make space for all people and the many intersections of our identities. Thank you to everyone who made today powerful and thank you to my Grandfather for introducing me to the power and vision of Dr. Davis⚡️

Yara Shahidi and Rowan Blanchard visited the Underground Museum at The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles yesterday, April 2. The young actresses were on hand to meet with political activist Dr. Angela Davis, who was speaking that the museum.

Currently, Yara and Rowan are in the midst of finishing out their schooling for the year while taking a break away from filming. Hopefully, we will hear about the college of Yara’s choice over the next few weeks.
