University Pays Communist Former Black Panther $18,500 for 3-hour Appearance

WILMINGTON, N.C. – Many college and university diversity offices have sprung up in recent years, ostensibly to build stronger ties between students and faculty of different races, and help make higher education more accessible and rewarding for minority students.

But many of the people who run those offices tend to have a strong bond with the radical fringe that operates the “white privilege” movement. They are notorious for hiring radical speakers to address students and try to recruit them into their Marxist, anti-American school of thought.

The Office of Institutional Diversity and Inclusion at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington recently provided a great example by hiring 1960s radical Angela Davis, a former member of the Black Panthers and Communist Party U.S.A., to speak to students in 2015.

Davis agreed to speak to students in a classroom setting, appear at a VIP reception, and address a Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday celebration program.

For a communist who speaks openly against greed and the free enterprise system, Davis sure gets a lot of money to make a speech. UNC-Wilmington paid $18,500 for Davis to appear at the school, according to university spending records obtained through an open records request.
