JVP Academic Letter in Support of Angela Davis
Jewish Voice for Peace calls on the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute to rescind their cancellation of the Fred Shuttlesworth Human Rights Award intended for Professor Angela Davis.
Angela Davis is a tireless advocate for the human rights of all people, a leading civil rights activist and a renowned scholar. She is eminently qualified to receive the Fred Shuttlesworth Human Rights Award.

The cancelling of this award by the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute is unjust, insulting and ill-conceived, especially because it is likely premised on Professor Davis’ long-standing support for Palestinian human rights. The decision seems to stem from a misinformed view that to advocate for Palestinian human rights is somehow offensive to the Jewish community.

As a Jewish organization dedicated to justice, dignity and equality for all people in Palestine/Israel, we share Professor Davis’ visionary commitment to the “indivisibility of justice,” and believe we are all responsible for pursuing social justice for all human beings, without exception—which includes pursuing social justice for Palestinians.

Professor Davis’s activist and scholarly life epitomizes the spirit and intention of this award and we call upon the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute to honor Professor Davis for the totality of her work.

================================================================

My wish is that this bullying, censorship and attempted silencing by segment of jewish population backfires .

I don't understand.
Past few years there have emerged a few groups started by and funded by jews who openly criticize the actions of israel and of jews in the spotlight. They don't just blindly support something because jews do it.


Jewish people going unchecked are eventually going to wear out their welcome in the USA and other countries, and people are going to call bullshyt on their "history of persecution" We are seeing in real time the actions,views and arrogance that got them kicked out of so many countries throughout history.
