Threshold Series Lecture - Cornel West

www.stvincent.edu | On Oct. 17, the Ann Kinzer Clark, M.D., Memorial Lecture Series and the Saint Vincent College Threshold Series welcomed Dr. Cornel West, professor of the practice of public philosophy at Harvard University and noted philosopher, social critic and author, to the Robert S. Carey Student Center’s Performing Arts Center, where he delivered a presentation entitled “The Arts as Prophetic Witness in Times of Suffering and Despair” to a capacity crowd.
West, who also holds the title of professor emeritus at Princeton University, was welcomed to the stage by longtime friend and Latrobe native Dr. Andrew G. Clark, director of choral activities and senior lecturer of music at Harvard University and the son of the late Dr. Ann Kinzer Clark, for whom the memorial lecture series was established.

I can listen to this man talk for hours.

[@ArtTherapyGuelph]

Me too!

[@Insert639]

I have for the past 3 years :)

[@65minimom]

@@Insert639 longer, watch Chris Hedges a good friend of Dr West

[@Insert639]

Cool. Yes, Dr. West has many friends. I was just out of high school 3 years ago, so before that I knew nothing of him, and politics was in the back of my mind. I discovered him through an interest in philosophy, during an existential crisis. •́ ‿ ,•̀

MR.C.WEST IS ABOVE COMMENT.

[@daeman9158]

Thanks to all involved with providing this video! Dr. West is well beyond a national treasure. He is a treasure to humanity.

FUCK HIM!@

[@moedprophet4686]

I never tire of listening to the wisdom of Dr. West especially when it comes to spiritual matters.

Moed Prophet Same. I wish I had discovered his work much sooner in my life.

10:28 - Brother Cornel West begins speaking

[@voltcorp]

yet I highly recommend watching the very emotional introduction

[@CiceroSpeaketh]

Yes thank you so much. Somehow I find the introduction speech by that other prof very authentic. I shall listen to him as well.

[@mattbetzen4376]

Thank you brother Jarrod

[@mattbetzen4376]

I find that I can't stop smiling when Dr. West speaks. It's like feeling that pure love I felt as a child looking up at my parents but now as an adult.

[@gbennett69]

FUCK HIM

[@mattbetzen4376]

@@gbennett69 Hello. Are you having a good day?

[@kimm.8718]

Anyone who has the temerity to speak with such passion and compassion about the integrity of the human experience is not only great-such a person is fundamentally good too. Each generation has its own crisis about what it means to be “huuuumaaan”, but for those of us in the relatively affluent West, it seems that the very things for which our forebears fought so valiantly are the same things distracting us from the most vital parts of the human experience. I thank Dr. West for helping reorient us toward a better path.

[@65minimom]

Those of YOU who are doing well, most of the rest of us are struggling to stay alive

[@kimm.8718]

Sandy Do you feel that Dr. West addresses the needs and struggles of those that are just fighting to stay alive? Do you feel that he speaks to your pains?

[@mr.inspire6469]

Dr.West is a Warrior of Love and a Treasure for The World.

[@gregorysanders8612]

Professors Cornel West Is A Brilliant Man And A Man Of Wisdom And Knowledge. The True And Eternal God Of Heaven And Earth Can Only Give Humanity Wisdom. Special Thanks To Harvard University For Inviting Him And Many Others Like Him From Many Walks Of Life.

Wow....This man is the man.

[@grizzlymartin1]

Just what I needed...just when I needed it.

[@catalinacurio]

I’ve been an atheist since I can remember, but wow you moved me Dr West! You are looking for someone to get folk through this turmoil, did it dawn on you, that this is Your calling?! 🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💖

[@defikidsmusic]

First I'd just like to thank the technical communications team for having brother West properly mic'd. Next I would like to know why you didn't include the question and answer portion of his lectures? These are always most beneficial. Lastly I would like to ask the school a question concerning their thoughts on the former Emperor of Ethiopia Haile Sellassie I who was the 225th or so descendant of King Solomon and what role does he play in your educational protocol if any? Thank you for the lecture.

[@alimo2000]

It’s really sad in 2019-2020 people going to bed without eating or no place to sleep.

[@katherinedavis4607]

Dr,c.west 'we the people are the miracle'.We are human and devine, we are what we are searching for.......Now we must work on becoming

[@katherinedavis4607]

So good!

Thumbs down? 4?? They must still b haunted by pain too great to see the value in humanity..... Thank u for uploading this content.

Be will to reprimand the CluCluxChristians. Those that when you bow your head to pray and look up with shackles on. Those that in the name of God try to predetermine your life’s timeline and bodily control, relationships.

[@paulafelipe1694]

There is prophetic witness today....learn about the witness happening in Medjugorje, Croatia where the mother of Jesus is appearing with messages for the world.

[@isaacbell2426]

All this & no notes!

[@mackenziedog1872]

This colony totally ignored all of what happened. NZ, I'm Welsh but the government here claims the Welsh are English and I'm insane for begging to differ. I'd love to tell more...

[@michelebrown2872]

Great lecture, yet the Audience shouldn't be laughing a lot.

[@haroldbrown5308]

Did Cornel release his plans for his back taxes he owes and his back child support he owes his child. As a candidate for president he should stop getting married--he was married 5 times and it's time to stop it!

[@christopherdavis8248]

I'm very, very skeptical of Christians. (19:50)

[@gregorysanders8612]

I Agree With You When You Say You Are Skeptic Of Christians I Am Too. I Am Not Skeptic Of A Born Again Believers In Jesus The Christ Because Jesus The Christ Nor His Apostles And Followers In General Never Taught Anyone To Be A Christian. They Taught Humanity To Follow Jesus The Christ And His Father The True And Eternal God Of Heaven And Earth. I Am A Born Again Believer In Jesus The Christ And Him Only. I Truly Believe That Cornel West Is A True Born Again Believer In Jesus The Jesus. Why You May Ask? Because No One Can Speak Against Evilness 👿, Wickedness 👺 And 👹 Corruptness Like John The Baptizer, Jesus The Christ And Paul One Of The Apostles Of Jesus The Christ And Many Others Except You Be Born Of The Holy Spirit Not Of The Flesh. Read The Whole Entire Holy Scriptures From Genesis To Revelation And You Will Find That Real Men And Women Of The Eternal Everlasting God Was Not Cowards. However You Will See In The Holy Scriptures That People's Of Satan The Devil 😈 And Satan Himself Are Cowards.
