READ: 1. The world's most famous article on annotation by Mortimer Adler.

WRITE: Optional revision of essay #1

Extra Credit: Who is the person pictured in this post. Why did I include him? What is he famous for? First correct commenters get it.

  1. Cornel West, a prominent blackacedemic, Philospher and Civil Rights Activist.

  3. Cornel West is African-American activist who is famous for his writing of books about the civil rights time. He's been strongly involved with civil rights since a kid. He marched with Malcolm X. his most famous book was Race Matters.

    He considers himself in his own words “a bluesman in the life of the mind, a jazzman in the world of ideas, forever on the move.”
