I saw Dr. Cornel West, yesterday. I absolutely love being around (in the presence of) brilliant people. There is no greater rush. He spoke about so many things including: HipHop, Emmett Till, Pres. Barack Obama, Homosexuality, Being/avoiding cowardliness, and being white and down for the cause. Throughout which, he quoted biblical scriptures, Plato, James Baldwin, and Anton Chekov. How awesome is that!
I want to make it a point to go to more inspirational, motivational, and thought provoking speeches this year. This made me happy.
Yes We Can - Will.I.Am (Barack Obama)
