Go West.


I've included some extra side notes from Cornel's speech that didn't make it into the printed copy.

Gentrification was a term he chose to specifically define after someone brought it up in the Q & A. Like Nick Marinello said, he was very graceful with his words.

Its also cool how both KRS and Cornel chose to site past examples of courage set by musicians Curt Mayfield and James Brown.

Here's a link to the Tulanian article, "Cornel West: A Bold Voice for MLK Week" by Nick Marinello, as published in Paper Paper (4/4/2008): http://www2.tulane.edu/article_news_details.cfm?ArticleID=7056
