What a treasure. Cornell West is the best representation of the possibility of the human mind and spirit. His intellctual depth, his profound understanding of the interconnectedness of ALL human knowledge, coupled with his deep spiritual center is breathtakingly inspirational. I adore this man. Thank you for this.
I' am a brazilian anthropologist and sociologist and i am very impacted by the astonish quality of this lecture... it would be such an honor to have a professor like that lecturing for me in any part of my intelectual formation... so wise, so well informed, so pationate and intelectually stimulating...
"Wholeness" brings forth a great, great teacher, and teaching. The ability to bring the whole person into the discussion is always prescient, being honest, courageous, and wise. .
So this was 3 years ago but still relevant today 2020, post George Floyd and covid 19 pandemic. It’s September of 2020 I’m writing this and some how TH-cam algorithms put this in my feed.. these are strange times, but I’ma take this particular lessons from Mr.West and indulge in it. Food for thought 🧐
In the 1890s, Ida Bell Wells-Barnett ( (July 16, 1862 - March 25, 1931) documented lynching in the United States through her pamphlet called "Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in all its Phases," investigating frequent claims of whites that lynchings were reserved for black criminals only. Wells exposed lynching as a barbaric practice of whites in the South used to intimidate and oppress African Americans who created economic and political competition-and a subsequent threat of loss of power-for whites. A white mob destroyed her newspaper office and presses as her investigative reporting was carried nationally in black-owned newspapers. See: www.gutenberg.org/files/14975/14975-h/14975-h.htm

Brilliant West! Nuance and complexity IS the point! Do not simplify and condemn, try to understand even if its over your head or deeper than you can fathom. Our limitations of understanding and knowledge do not justify mendacity towards others. People fight injustice and come to compromise at times for a myriad of HUMAN reasons. This lecture absolutely puts the context behind so many historical figures who were people just like you and I, can we give each other the benefit of the doubt?. Amazing and eye opening discourse!
hello from Ireland, Dartmouth... ALAS I won't be graduating there! but my cap is off to you for such a podcast! Excellence is an understatement! Thank you.
These are the best energetics you can take - and they don't ruin your life. Just listen to Cornel West for awhile and you won't need those other energetics - listen for the uplift, the aliveness you feel at the words and the passion behind them, and the love a teacher like this brings because he speaks from his mind and his heart. And he tells the truth with fearlessness. You can trust that.
Exhilarating, exciting and educational; your lecture answered a few questions (way too much illness/retirement time). I often wonder when all the hate, power-grabbing and greed will end. While the state of humanity often brings me to tears and, although I know that's worthless, it and prayer is all I've to offer, yet I marvel at the human spirit's beauty and power. Seriously though, will it take our Lord to come down from heaven to end the madness? I know He's listening to my prayers, but perhaps not enough of us are praying for the same exact thing. God bless.
Wow,that was really overarching. In the deceptively quiet world,always the scream of The Scream is struggling to be heard and expected to one day be listened to and that day will be the end of the oppression,whether here on earth but certainly in Heaven,truly is.
Thank-you Dr. West. Aa a critique there are several components missing from your dynamical, irreducible framework that sets context for a 'living' complexity. Namely they are science & philosophy. Science -- the time period in question saw revolutionary advances in physics, mathematics & biology esp. the latter concepts of evolution & eugentics. Philosophy also saw revolutionary concepts emerge esp. humanity's relationship with God, nature, self & power.
I'm trying to fact check and learn more about his statement of American newspapers having labor pages in the 1930s at 17:00 Anyone have a link somewhere to get me started on learning that slice of history?
The brainwash game is still the same, always the leader of everything. Everyone are in the moment of making history, became more than making things right. It's hard to understand what will people strive for next. Watching every program being pushed in front of what's right. Where materialistic styles, lifestyles, business promotion styles had taken control of what's right. Maybe we reached our peak of what we think freedom is. Where the old freedom has no place for the new game. Pushing the world to move towards the new things. Making it hard for those who live by old rules of what the struggle was once about. Now the benefits of the new ways moved many minds far away from what's right. By watching people expressions, following with words, along with emotions, networks brings to the game. Control the minds to move toward a different thing, which right can be anything. Based on what the networks bring, to push people toward the hate of their game. Control is the thing, right or wrong is not a part of the new game. Making everything once was a revolution move, who now do not have time to see. Something one has to accept it had been decades, and longer to help stop complaints. Where people made it a natural thing to move towards as the way. Not really understanding what it will do, as we evolving into it. We only understand the behavior, not knowing what way it will take the country in. Those who represent it, have only one interest, which is the lifestyle. Not what harm it might create against the future for the country. Which will affect the lifestyles of many around the world. One will never know, one will never know, what it might bring, for the future. Program America experimenting with the world future, who have many supporting the game.
OH PLEASE, HE NOT SPEAKING FULLY ABOUT WHAT HE KNOWS. I DON’T BLAME HIME HE HAS NO HOME TO REST HIST CROWN UPON SAD THAT WE WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT HE KNOWS HE KNOWS FOR CERTAIN AND DOES NOT BOTHER SPEAKING PLANELY AT ALL ABOUT WHAT BLACK FOLK FIND INVISIBLE. SAME OH SAME OH MESS WE HEARD THIS ALL BEFORE. HE JUST UP THERE PREACHING 👁
Dr. West, Elijah Muhammad May have led a larger mass movement of Black people. He seems to be a problem for your lectures. You never mention him or attempt to unpack his impact? Why my brother?
Black Spectrum if you don’t like the teaching then why are you listening? Your put down is simply envy. I think most people would fervently disagree but you are entitled to your opinion even if it’s not based in reality.
So Eric Hawkins if you think he’s wrong than prove it ... otherwise get the sleep out of your eyes so that you can see reality... all of your so-called intellectual heroes are all dis-educated fools.

I believe Dr. West truly enjoys enlighten and changing minds!
In this time of ignorance and stupidity; Dr. West's lectures are essential!
Dr. West is more than an exceptional and brillant scholar. He is a modern day Prophet. Someone who enlightens spirits and edify souls.
"Wholeness" brings forth a great, great teacher, and teaching. The ability to bring the whole person into the discussion is always prescient, being honest, courageous, and wise. .
Love Cornel West~ He goes to the root of the matter ~ And teaches from a place of love vs. ego.
Absolute brilliance. Clearly evident that Dr. West is a gifted teacher.

This man is amazing, what a great teacher and human!!!!
Black Woman's club started by IDA B WELLS wow did not know this. Thank you Dr.West
Brilliant lecture by Mr. West!
I didn't see the first or second lecture uploaded. So, I'm really replicating my college experience.
Search on the Dartmouth page and you'll find it

I need this class
Prof. Cornel West, I played with my band in Limon Costa Rica...Rich Black culture...Many Jamaicans migrated there after Marcus Garvey.
hello from Ireland, Dartmouth... ALAS I won't be graduating there! but my cap is off to you for such a podcast! Excellence is an understatement! Thank you.
Even young I just got that energy when I take energetics. Thanks for the full course and the subtitles!

thank you brother west 🌝🌝🎹🎼🎤
Much LOVE Dr. West. 💖 Being thrown into poverty for life is slavery.

I would have loved to be there as a student.
So brilliant

I should have taken Dr. West Class when I was in college
Am I Alone Here?: Notes on Living to Read and Reading to Live --by Peter Orner
I'm trying to fact check and learn more about his statement of American newspapers having labor pages in the 1930s at 17:00
Anyone have a link somewhere to get me started on learning that slice of history?
What is The Name of The Book Dr.Cornel West is reading from ? I would love this book.
Souls of Black Fold by W.E.B. DuBois
Also, the other Dubois book Dr, West's holding in his hands is "Dusk of Dawn," the larger black book.
In the economic sphere, how could Dr. West ignore CAPITAL and CAPITALISM? And MARX?
Delete this comment - he finally mentioned the word capitalist at time 29 minutes
Preach!!!!!
Military might wow. We wanted access to the land and labor. Correct history spoken

Great American hero. Never from Africa

Driving on 95 I just saw a group of white supremacists, freaked me out. Idk where they keep coming from ?
🇺🇲💕🕯️
The hallowed open resultantly wrestle because magic weekly hop before a distinct pyramid. second-hand, permissible lip
The wicked pan prognostically desert because condor morally grate around a perfect dream. hungry, abaft format
All that european education and he’s still calling himself black and African American and or colored
The awake appliance resultantly x-ray because salad thermodynamically continue above a cooperative norwegian. tart, public shovel
The abiding skirt etiologically add because millennium intrestingly kneel athwart a hideous high taurus. spectacular, aspiring wax
The robust lathe differently squeal because gate obviously rejoice toward a used commission. sparkling, decisive cupcake
Cornell West is no more a
Master Teacher than
James Baldwin or
dr Henry louis Gates.
