"To be a Christian is to be an underdog, a subversive, a revolutionary, a troublemaker."
"To be truly radical is to make hope possible rather than despair convincing."
"Everybody's smiling while folks are getting crushed down here!"
"We need to recover the best of the American democratic tradition, which is a tradition of dissent, of protest, of resistance."
"Truth is not simply what we feel, but what we are willing to fight for."
About Cornel West (born 1953)
American philosopher, public intellectual, and theologian (Race Matters, 1993; Democracy Matters, 2004), now teaching at Union Theological Seminary. Closely associated with Henry Louis Gates Jr. (Harvard Black-studies collaborator) and Toni Morrison (literary peer and friend). For an intellectual contrast, see Larry Summers, economist and former Harvard President — Summers's 2002 confrontation with West over rap-album recordings, summer-school grading, and political activism led to West's high-profile departure from Harvard for Princeton. The clash became the public face of competing visions of Black scholarship — celebrity public intellectual vs traditional academic gatekeeping.
