During February, we celebrate Black History Month, a month to honor the contributions of African Americans to United States history. Today’s Black History Month contemporary bio comes to us by way of the History Department:
Cornel West is a political activist, author and university professor who is known for his writing and commentary about racial and sociopolitical phenomena. The essays in the best-selling Race Matters (1993) focused on the plight of struggling African Americans. West's major written works have since included The Future of the Race (1997), written with Henry Louis Gates Jr., Democracy Matters (2004) and a memoir entitled Brother West: Living and Loving Out Loud (2009).– JS
