Dr. Cornell West


Dr. Cornell West a graduate of North Carolina Central University's prestigous School of Law, came a year ago and put on what I would have to say an incredible and inspirational speech. He spoke of dreams and reality. The dream to perspire and the reality was to see what the world really was. I found just about every word to be true. He spoke of the younger generation and our ways. He spoke of the older generation and what they became. He stated that Boys today walk with their heads down and their pants low. But not the men of the past, they walked with their heads held high and their shoulders back. He also stated how they had respect for one another and the people that surrounded them such as women. Which all of that is true. Men today for the most part are rude and degrating. They play with women and dont cater to them as they did way back when. That's where the saying" Chivalry is Dead" was born. I loved the peacock and the eagle. He says that you have to be what you wanne be and do what you dream. " The peacock struts so pretty because it can't fly such as an Eagle can, so soar my Eagles SOAR!"
