Anderson Cooper Moved To Tears During Interview With Dr. Cornel West About Racial Justice
The headline is not the whole story. Dr. Cornel West gave an impassioned tribute to George Floyd’s family and generations of Black families.
West shared his admiration for Floyd’s family and generations of resilient Black people who embraced love in the face of subjugation and invoked Cooper’s newborn son Wyatt in his call for justice.
“We’ve got a love that the world can’t take away. The world ... may make being Black a crime. But we refuse to get in the gutter, and we gonna go down swinging like Ella Fitzgerald, Muhammad Ali, in the name of love and justice,” West said. “We’re doing it for Brother Wyatt, we’re doing it for my daughter, we’re doing it for the Asians, we’re doing it for the whole world.”
