Call 1-800-545-2433, ext 2519 Conference Highlights Keynote speaker— Cornel West Be inspired by Cornel West, one of America’s most celebrated academ­ ics, a professor of Philosophy of Religion and Afro- American Studies at Harvard University, and a preeminent speaker on race in America. In his address, West will confront the “ monumental eclipse of hope, the unprecedented collapse of meaning and the incredible disregard for human (especially black) life .” His work— influenced by traditions as diverse as the Baptist Church, American transcen­ dentalism and literature, the Black Panthers, and European philosophy— seeks to revive the best of liberalism, populism, and democraticsocialism. A prolific author, his book Race M atters (1993) achieved best-seller status. He has since published Keeping the Faith (1993) and Je w s and Blacks: Le t the Healing Begin (1995), which he coauthored with Michael Lerner. Friday, A p ril 11, 7:00 p.m .
