CORNEL WEST is one of America's most provocative public intellectuals and 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. The New York Times has praised his "ferocious moral vision." Dr. West currently teaches at Union Theological Seminary.

CARL DIX is a longtime revolutionary and a founding member of the Revolutionary Communist Party,USA. In 1970, Carl was one of the Fort Lewis 6, six GIs who refused orders to go to Vietnam. He served 2 years in Leavenworth Military Penitentiary for this stand.

In 2011, Carl and Cornel co-founded the Stop Mass Incarceration Network and co-issued a call for a campaign of civil disobedience to STOP "Stop-and-Frisk." This campaign changed the discourse in NYC around the racist stop-and-frisk policy.

This will be the sixth dialogue between Cornel West and Carl Dix.

This joint fundraising event for the Stop Mass Incarceration Network and Revolution Books NYC promises to be a dynamic and substantive conversation between two people on the cutting edge of calling out all the horrors this system inflicts on people all over the world and actively involved in calling on people to stand up and build resistance to them.
