Event

Dr. West @The Well

Dr. Cornel West returns to The Well for a private talk about his new book Black Prophetic Fire, which will be released on October 7.

In his new book, Dr. West takes a look at six revolutionary African American leaders: Frederick Douglass, W. E. B. Du Bois, Martin Luther King Jr., Ella Baker, Malcolm X, and Ida Wells-Barnett. West examines the impact of these men and women on their own eras and across the decades.

Dr. West will speak about the role and need for prophetic presence today, the roles that race and power play in our public commons, and how we can work for a more just and compassionate community.

For those who find our time inconvenient or our price too high, we point you to Town Hall where Dr. West will be giving an evening address. The Town Hall event is currently sold out, but there will be some seats available on the day of the event. Please feel free to contact Town Hall for more information.
