Dr. Cornel West on Ferguson, Protest, and Hope

As the nation grapples with the issues of race and injustice following the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner at the hands of police officers, professor and author Cornel West offers his always insightful and provocative commentary.  Dr. West, who will open Trinity Institute 2015 in January as keynote speaker, says the current situation reminds him of why he describes himself not as an optimist but as a “prisoner of hope.” Cornel West will speak at Trinity Institute 2015.
