West—whose paternal grandfather was a pastor—too has a bit of the preacher about him, and comports himself as one who has been called to serve, so the vaguely ecumenical uniform then seems fitting, one less worldly thing to distract from the things that matter.“I’ve kind of always called it what Martin Luther King did, which was cemetery clothes,” West says with a mix of sincerity and lighthearted self-awarness. (Overachieving runs in the family. “I always say that I am who I am because somebody loved me,” he says. Currently, Cornel West is married to wife Elleni Gebre Amlak. “But they hated religion.

One of West’s most oft-repeated refrains is: “I’m a bluesman in the life of the mind, a jazzman in the world of ideas, forever on the move.”And perhaps the reason West has stoked equal measures of admiration and controversy is that he’s changed the rules of the game in his own arena the way a great musician changes the rules of performance for a generation. Three hip-hop albums. I had these long arguments with them. “Like a great jazz musician, he has different styles. He worked two jobs as well, cleaning dorms and washing dishes.West thrived with a more-than-full academic load (he graduated in three years—magna cum laude, no less—to save his family the tuition money) and pursued graduate studies at Princeton, where he was the first African American to earn a Ph.D. in philosophy in 1980. That’s a sign of genius.”And while Gates calls Harvard West’s academic home, he acknowledges that West is a native son of another place, too. “Racial reasoning discourages moral reasoning,” he wrote.And today? Brother Cliff, who is 68 and reads as 50, also looks nothing at all like Cornel. “I flew back to Boston with them,” she says, “and that same night is when the verdicts came out in L.A.”She’s referring to the April 29, 1992, verdicts in the Rodney King trial that acquitted four white police officers of any wrongdoing in King’s 1991 beating and arrest, sparking the L.A. riots. “You can talk about the good stuff, but nobody wants to talk about the bad stuff. [She became] a routine, garden-variety politician, as opposed to a visionary statesperson. For instance, he has sparred with Not everybody sees West’s rocky public relationships as signifying weakness—or worse, mere grandstanding. Sister [Kamala] Harris is very talented and brilliant, and she does have that energy, but I don’t think she has the follow-through. It’s a continuing source of grief to West that he has as yet failed to replicate his parents’ solid marital union. "I've been away for 50 years, but I'm Sacramentan to the core. They had a son that year as well, but divorced in 1979—an event that left him briefly homeless and living in New York’s Central Park. Cynthia, born in 1955, was a star gymnast, and both she and Cheryl, born in 1959, had long, distinguished careers in government.) “And he said he could feel something deep inside of Cliff, that he was going to win the Golden West next year.”Which Cliff did. So instead of slipping between the cracks, Cornel transferred into an accelerated program at Earl Warren Elementary the next year, where he skipped a grade and finally flourished. “But Biden doesn’t have enough broad vision and courage. His analysis of the hectic Democratic field, with a swirling eddy of candidates vying for attention, is pretty benevolent. That honestly and cheerfully proffered hand worked wonders in a neighborhood where prejudice sprang more from unfamiliarity than from a painful history—white South Land Parkers may not even have had a peer-to-peer experience with a black man before.
