Cornel West: November 2001 (RealAudio). The most important words I heard spoken in the month after September 11. The end not of American innocence -- America has never been innocent. No, what struck me was: This is the end of America's adolescence.

Persuant to this recent discussion. Democracy Now weblink here. The audio's a little murky, but it's required listening.

  • The audio is murky is an understatement. He said something about looking out his window and seeing a plane crash into the World Trade Center. Then he said something else that got a really big laugh. Did anybody catch it?
  • "I said to myself, 'Well, I know I'm not high.'"
  • COrnel West has spoken at my school many times and he is an amazing speaker. Definetly go see him if you can.
