EP 7: Cornel West on Music, Black Resilience, and Prophetic Tradition
Cornel West joins Yara Allen and Reverend Dr. William J. Barber to discuss the intersection of music, spirituality, and Black resilience. They examine cultural influences, prophetic traditions, and protest music, underscoring Black music as a powerful form of spiritual resistance. West and his co-hosts argue that Black leadership is defined by moral and spiritual impact rather than success alone, stressing that America’s obsession with power has led to spiritual decay across society.
