An Evening Lecture
and Booksigning
with CORNEL WEST
As we approach an economic, social and spiritual crossroads, the next chapter of the epic American story is about to be written. Can we muster the courage for critical self-examination and the strength to leave behind our collective adolescence and outgrow our homogenized civilization? Reflecting on the themes of his new book, Hope on a Tightrope, Cornel West, one of the nation’s most provocative and important public intellectuals, invites us to examine these questions in our hearts, minds and souls, and asks each of us to honestly confront the depth of our love and the quality of our service.
The quest for unarmed truth and unconditional love is inseparable from the battle for freedom, he asserts, and he comes to ask us if we are ready to become real freedom fighters. Don’t miss this extraordinarily eloquent, stimulating, challenging and inspiring thinker.
