Is Haiti just another fleeting humanitarian campaign? Or is it possible to respond to suffering and injustice in a way that is meaningful and sustainable? Professor, public intellectual and activist Cornel West shares his own experience with fighting injustice and gives insight into how we can engage in activism that is characterized by faith, perseverance, courage and hope. From The Veritas Forum at Columbia University, 2010.In the discussion, moderated by Columbia student Gabrielle Apollon, Professor West explores the following: Three months after the earthquake, Haiti has disappeared from the news. How do we become activists that persevere and maintain hope, even after it is no longer in the headlines? Given the 21st century "soundbite" culture in America, could there be another movement as large-scale and influential as the Civil Rights Movement? How do you combat cynicism and discouragement in the face of overwhelming injustice and tragedy, and what does it mean to have true hope? What kind of activism truly makes a difference?
