Cornel West

CORNEL WEST discusses his book Black Prophetic Fire. Tickets are $5 and go on sale 9/30.

Cornel West, with distinguished scholar Christa Buschendorf, provides a fresh perspective on six revolutionary African American leaders: Frederick Douglass, W. E. B. Du Bois, Martin Luther King Jr., Ella Baker, Malcolm X, and Ida B. Wells. West examines the impact of these men and women on their own eras and across decades. He rediscovers the integrity and commitment within these passionate advocates and discusses their fault lines. 
  
Providing new insights that humanize all of these well-known figures, Cornel West takes an important step in rekindling the Black prophetic fire essential in the age of Obama.
