| A Historic Dialogue: Dr.
West\, alongside Larry Sharpe and Maj Toure\, will explore the enduring r
elevance of Frederick Douglass’s powerful assertion\, “If there is no stru
ggle\, there is no progress. Power concedes nothing without a demand.” Thi
s discussion will delve into the historical and contemporary significance
of Douglass’s words\, examining how they resonate in today’s fight for jus
tice and equality.\n The Legacy of Frederick Douglass: Frederick Douglass\, a former enslaved person who became a leading abo litionist and statesman\, understood that progress requires relentless dem and and struggle. His life and work epitomize the fight against systemic o ppression and the pursuit of liberty. Douglass’s commitment to justice led him to navigate various political affiliations and support independent mo vements when necessary\, demonstrating a clear focus on principles over pa rty loyalty. This panel will reflect on Douglass’s legacy\, drawing parall els between his era and our current socio-political climate\, and highligh t the importance of maintaining an independent and principled stance in th e fight for justice and equality. \nDr. Cornel West’s Perspe ctive: As a prominent intellectual and activist\, Dr. West brings a profound understanding of moral and social justice to the discussion. H is campaign for the 2024 Presidential race highlights the urgent need to c onfront our nation’s moral bankruptcy and spiritual crisis\, driven by a p olitical system that often values profits over people and the planet. Dr. West advocates for policies designed by and for the people\, free from the influence of corporate and special interests. | \n
