This is a video of a discussion between Dr. Cornel West and Miriam Rivera. They are discussing the problems of our society, and why education doesn't seem to be as important in America as it is in many other nations. They also discuss what will need to be done to help more low-income students get into secondary education. This is a great discussion between to leading American intellectuals. Dr. Cornel West always provides a compelling argument to anything that he is discussing, and this video is no different.
