Cornel West and Abby Martin Analyze the Black Radical Political Tradition
(SleeperCells) — Back on television with a new called ‘Empire Files‘, Abby Martin– the former host of RT’s Breaking the Set– explores a Black History Month narrative forgotten by too many and omitted from us by the establishment: the Black radical political tradition.
But why? What is the traditional political establishment in the U.S. afraid of?
In addition to speeches from legends such as Angela Davis and Mumia Abu-Jamal, this week’s episode of The Empire Files features a one-on-one interview with Dr. Cornel West. The host and founder of Media Roots, Abby Martin, provides a thought-provoking snapshot from inside the ‘Black Radical Tradition In Our Time‘ conference held in Philadelphia.
Dr. West is the first African American to graduate from Princeton with a Ph.D in philosophy. In August of 2015, he was one of the first to endorse Senator Bernie Sanders for President of the United States.
So what is Black radical political tradition? There might not be a more qualified mind to explain what you’re not being told than Dr. Cornel West. If you haven’t seen Abby’s new project airing once a week on teleSUR, we highly recommend it.
Enjoy!
