Should ex-Black Panther Angela Davis speak on campus?
GRAND RAPIDS — A Grand Rapids Community College trustee says he’s worried that two upcoming Diversity Lecture Series speakers — including former Black Panther Angela Davis — don’t fit with the college’s values. Trustee Richard Ryskamp said he’s worried such appearances give the public a poor perception of the college. Since trustees plan to take a close look at the college’s mission and values, he said allowing such speakers should be a part of the discussion.
