Every year at the Unitarian Universalist Association there is a Ware speaker. The speaker was originally a gift from the Ware family and this goes back all the way to 1922. History of the Ware Lecture
This year the speaker was the Rev. Dr. Cornel West. Here is a video from the evening. It includes a small slideshow and the Evening Sing. Rev. West’s speech begins at 42 min. Hope you enjoy.

About the Artist
“With a voice reminiscent of Don McLean, McKnight traverses from old-time Appalachian tunes to contemporary folk and blues, all backed up by his dead-on guitar playing” – The Boston Globe
“The skillful songwriter’s interest in history is revealed in songs such as the Civil War ballad ‘The Road to Appomattox’ … He also works in true folkie tradition, updating lyrics to classic material such as ‘Worried Man Blues’ or reworking Robert Johnson’s ‘Crossroads’.” – The Washington Post
The nationally acclaimed Americana artist’s solo performances are like one man theatre; the songs are woven together with humorous stories and poetic drama, and the musical soundscape traverses influences from Appalachia, tasteful slide and jazzy blues, feisty anthems, rustic folk, and even a little fancy flatpicking on a Carter Family tune.
