[[File:Angela_Davis_at_Goethe_University_in_Frankfurt,_Germany.tif|thumb|180px|As a student at the Institute of Social Research at [[Goethe University Frankfurt|Goethe University]] in [[Frankfurt]], Germany. Davis studied the work of philosophers [[Kant]], [[Hegel]], and [[Adorno]]]] In [[West Germany]], with a monthly stipend of $100, she lived first with a German family and later with a group of students in a loft in an old factory. After visiting [[East Berlin]] during the annual [[May Day#Germany|May Day celebration]], she felt that the [[East Germany|East German]] government was dealing better with the residual effects of [[fascism]] than were the West Germans. Many of her roommates were active in the radical [[Sozialistischer Deutscher Studentenbund|Socialist German Student Union]] (SDS), and Davis participated in some SDS actions. Events in the United States, including the formation of the [[Black Panther Party]] and the transformation of [[Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee]] (SNCC) to an all-black organization, drew her interest upon her return.<ref name="Waters" />
