Cornel West, one of America's most provocative and eloquently outspoken public intellectuals, on the tour for his new book, "Brother West: Living and Loving Out Loud, A Memoir."
West is the author of many groundbreaking books, including "Jews and Blacks: Let the Healing Begin" and his recent publications "Democracy Matters," an analysis of the arrested development of democracy in America and the Middle East, and "Restoring Hope," a compilation of interviews with African-American luminaries discussing hope and despair in Black America. West has also produced three albums, including "Never Forget: A Journey of Revelations," a collection of socially conscience music featuring collaborations with Prince, Outkast, Jill Scott, Talib Kweli and KRS-ONE. He was an influential force in developing the storyline for the popular "Matrix" movie trilogy and has served as its official spokesperson, as well as playing a recurring role in the final two films.
