Identify this black activist

Help me out here. I have an image of this guy in my head but can't put a name to the face. He is a black activist, probably in his 50's and has appeared pretty often on Real Time with Bill Maher. He is kinda skinny, has grey in a pretty big afro, wears glasses and is very articulate (for ANY race)..I think he may be a professor because he gets deeep into race relations and history. I think he usually wears a black and white suit. He has a good sense of humor, a gap in his teeth and is always calling people "my brother".
Five shrooms to the first person to ID this dude.

Ok. I have it now.
Cornel West.

Jiggy told me. She's really hip on famous black activists, you know?

I love the facial expression of the guy on the far right of the picture.
He seems to be saying, "I know this guy is supposed to be famous and I never heard of him until now... but still it's kinda cool."

"West appears in both The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions. He plays one of the elders, Councilor West, who serves on the council of Zion. West's character advises that "comprehension is not a requisite of cooperation." In addition, West provides philosophical commentary on all three Matrix films in The Ultimate Matrix Collection along with integral theorist Ken Wilber."

wow. this guy.........wow. Thanks for introducing me to Cornel West!
and I know this is shallow but I wish he was indeed wearing coat-tails... like I originally thought.
An African steampunk, neo-victorian guru.
He's really 'into' what he's saying isn't he. It's like performance lecturing...
-------------------- 'Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain and leave the Shroomery.' ~ Jim Morrison
