A returning guest to The Colbert Report, Cornel West speaks about hope, social justice and dignity. His book Hope on a Tightrope just came out in paperback.
West is a professor at Princeton and a noted civil rights activist, and West and Colbert talk for a little while in this interview about love as social justice. Then, somehow, Colbert brings the conversation to Michael Bolton. Uh-hunh.
West's book is a collection of essays, speechs, and quotes about the state of America and the state of humanity. West is a trained philosopher and his work is founded in diversity of intellectual thought, but this book is written for a general public. It's not a book of jargon, but a book of inspiration.
