I’ll go right to it: Are you Angela Davis?

Oh, good, you remember her.

Yes, I am Angela Davis!

Good job, EH!

[Elendil_s_Heir]

Thanks! The data points that she was black, a communist and had been prosecuted are what made her name pop into my mind.

Continuing our march through the alphabet, our next letter is

E

My understanding has always been that, if you know the name that starts with the same letter that’s in play, the guesser hasn’t earned a DQ. But I’m willing to be outvoted.

2. male
3. last name starts with E
