I am thoroughly agnostic where religion is concerned. However doctor West's words touch me in every meaningful way

What I like most about Dr. West that he did not lose his self motivation and enthusiasm of all social and political issues in US of A and still pushing so many young generations to be with him on the same train after all of these years. This is really RARE and extremely difficult so don't underestimate his role.
