这句语录背后的故事
This statement, highlighted in Davis's introduction, encapsulated her philosophy of activism and civic engagement. Rather than viewing success as an individual accomplishment, Davis urged graduates to see themselves as part of something larger — an ongoing movement for justice that stretches across generations. The quote reflected Davis's own trajectory. Despite achieving enormous personal recognition, she consistently emphasized that her work was part of a collective struggle. At Pitzer, a college that emphasizes social justice as a core value, her words resonated with the institution's mission of producing graduates who see their education as a tool for creating a more just world.
