991102* Cornel West - Black Empowerment

"A spectre of despair haunts America. Wealth inequality and class polarisation are escalating. This bleak portrait is accentuated among African Americans. The fragile black middle class fights a white backlash. And the besieged black poor struggle to survive. Nearly thirty years after Dr. King's murder, black America sits on the brink of collective despair." Cornel West spoke at Roxbury Community College, a largely black school in a poor area just outside of Boston.

Cornel West has been called "the pre-eminent African American intellectual of our generation." Professor of Philosophy of Religion and Afro-American Studies at Harvard, he lectures extensively throughout the United States and the world. He is a prolific writer, author of Keeping Faith, Race Matters and Restoring Hope. His work is a fusion of the African American spiritual tradition and progressive politics.
