Social justice advocate and philosopher, Dr. Cornel West visited San Diego today to talk to 150 middle school and high school students. Many of whom are from underserved communities.

It's a visit hosted by UC San Diego with the intent to motivate those who oftentimes feel marginalized.

Dr. West is famous for being a social justice advocate and he’s been interviewed thousands of times on big T.V. networks, but he made the drive to San Diego to speak to our future generation.

“The focus on these kids is to show them we love them, we care for them and we want to expand their minds and their hearts and their souls. And UC San Diego is to be congratulated for it, this is a very unique institution," said Dr. West.
