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.

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. •́ ‿ ,•̀

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.

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.

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!

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.
