An Evening with Dr. Cornel West - "Overcoming Structural Violence to Reduce Health Disparities: Building the Beloved Community"
"Overcoming Structural Violence to Reduce Health Disparities: Building the Beloved Community" Dr. West has been a champion for racial justice since childhood. His writing, speaking, and teaching weave together the traditions of the black Baptist Church, progressive politics, and jazz. The New York Times has praised his "ferocious moral vision." Dr. West illuminates what it means to live as "an aspiring bluesman in a world of ideas and a jazzman in the life of the mind." Woven together with the fibers of his lifelong commitment to the prophetic Christian tradition that began in Sacramento's Shiloh Baptist Church, Dr. West is a man courageous enough to be fully human, living and loving out loud. Date & Time: Thursday, April 9th 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm Location: Allen Temple Baptist Church 8501 International Blvd, Oakland, CA 94621 Tickets available through Brown Paper tickets Suggested Donations $15 General Admission Suggested Donations goes towards the Samuel Merritt University Regents Diversity Scholarship fund
