Professors Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and Cornel West will come together at Loyola Marymount University as part of the Marymount Institute's “Global Conversation” series to discuss the prevalence of culture wars in the U.S. and worldwide. Gates Jr. and West are two of the most renowned scholars and public intellectuals in the country; embodying the intellectual response to who we are as a nation defined and often divided by our religious, economic, and racial diversity. Drawing on African American history and personal experiences, their talk will encapsulate the way we have lived in the past in terms of race and color, the way we live now, and the ways we can engage and celebrate our commonalities and differences for a better future.
