Never forget that justice is what love looks like in public.

Cornel West

Philosopher and activist Cornel West has long taken on the plight of inequality in race, gender, and class. This quote, written in his 2009 book, "Brother West: Living and Loving Out Loud, A Memoir," speaks to that background. West wants us to know that if we act with love, we can help create justice for all communities. If we live with compassion and integrity, and bring those virtues out into the world with us — whether that’s shown through our personal relationships or public demonstrations — we can change the lives of people around us.
