OriginalAngela Davis, Marxist and feminist scholar.
Reason
I think this is probably the best of the photos we have of her, in a pretty iconic look. Did reshuffle the images on her page - didn't remove any, just changed the order - because, while I don't think there's anything wrong with leading with a 2014 photo in theory, the old lead image looks really snapshotty.
Crop is, I think, justified by the marks on the original, which indicate fairly strongly a crop was planned. I also uploaded one that edited out the X's.
