After finding out that Barack Obama did not visit Martin Luther King, Jr.'s grave, Cornel West briefly gives his profound opinion. Dr.West his uses high vocabulary in presenting his position on the event; word in which I cannot fully comprehend.West articulates his feelings by saying, "That brother Martin's profound love and deep sacrifice for black people, America and humanity is in no way reducible to political calculations, even for the campaign for presidency." Dr.King is the most influential social reformer of the 20th century. His contributions to world should be commended. West feels that Barack's campaign for the presidency is not an acceptable excuse for not paying homage to a man of his magnitude. Tens of thousands of people who will never run for the the prisedency have been to Memphis,TN just to be near where Dr.King took his last breath,but he could not make something like this a priority.


Cornel West's credibility is apparent through his numerous publishings like "Race Matters" and most recently "Hope On A Tight Rope," and his many appearances on The Tavis Smiley Show and CNN. He is writing to Barack Obama's supporters.



I like Dr.West as writer and speaker for his judgemental censarity and deep truth. These unique qualities are what I take and incorperate into writing. I will speak as if my opinons are truth.
