Institutions—governmental, religious, financial, even revolution
itself—have a way of turning stale and sour. "Thank God for the history
of the heretics and the blasphemers. That's my crowd," says Dr. Cornell
West. Quoting from some of history and literature's greatest thinkers
and doers, West presents a poetic lecture on the role of hope in
America's past and its future, and how to make your voice matter. This
video was filmed at the Los Angeles Hope Festival, a collaboration
between Big Think and Hope & Optimism, a three-year initiative which
supported interdisciplinary academic research into significant
questions that remain under-explored.
