Social Activist, author, and professor Cornel West will be speaking at KSU Sunday, Jan. 20 at 8 p.m.
West has been invited by the African American Student Alliance to speak in honor
of KSU’s Martin Luther King celebration.
“We have a keynote speaker come each year for reflection and give encouraging words,” said African American Student Alliance President Trey Patton. “This year Dr. Cornel West will be speaking on globalizing the black legacy.”
West has authored several books including “Race Matters” and “Democracy Matters.”
He is invited regularly on
CNN, C-Span, Colbert Report, and the Bill Maher Show. He has authored 19 books and received his M.A. and Ph.D. from Princeton University. He is currently a professor in the Department of Religion at Princeton University.
This will be West’s first visit to KSU, but former keynote speakers for this event include Nikki Giovanni and Hill Harper.
