Cornel West joins the show.

There are few more recognizable educators and orators than Cornel West – a philosopher, scholar, and civil rights activist whose searing speeches have educated and inspired many. He speaks with Walter Isaacson about why classics must remain in the curriculum; Biden’s first 100 days; and the legacy of West's mother, the late Irene B. West.
