ning how they resonate in today’s fight for justice and equality.\n The Legacy of Frederick Douglass: Frederick Douglass\, a former enslaved person who became a leading abolitionist and statesman\, u nderstood that progress requires relentless demand and struggle. His life and work epitomize the fight against systemic oppression and the pursuit o f liberty. Douglass’s commitment to justice led him to navigate various po litical affiliations and support independent movements when necessary\, de monstrating a clear focus on principles over party loyalty. This panel wil l reflect on Douglass’s legacy\, drawing parallels between his era and our current socio-political climate\, and highlight the importance of maintai ning an independent and principled stance in the fight for justice and equ ality. \nDr. Cornel West’s Perspective: As a promin ent intellectual and activist\, Dr. West brings a profound understanding o f moral and social justice to the discussion. His campaign for the 2024 Pr esidential race highlights the urgent need to confront our nation’s moral bankruptcy and spiritual crisis\, driven by a political 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
