Busboys and Poets welcomes Dr. Cornel West on Thursday as he discusses and signs his works, including his latest: Brother West: Living and Loving Out Loud, A Memoir. Cornel West has been a champion for racial justice since childhood. His writing, speaking, and teaching weave together the traditions of the black Baptist Church, progressive politics and jazz.

Plus, beginning at 5:00 p.m., there will be a live musical introduction from the Cornel West theory. The Cornel West theory is a Washington, D.C. based hip-hop band who, with the blessing of Dr. West, takes its name from his prolific writings and philosophies that have shaped contemporary thought throughout the world.
