Neal Hall, M.D. is a graduate of Cornell and Harvard. His award winning book, Nigger For Life, reflects his painful discovery, that in “unspoken America,” race is the one thing by which he is first judged; by which he is first measured; first, against which his life and accomplishments are metered diminished value, dignity, equality and justice.
Cornel West, Ph.D., said of Dr. Hall “ he is a warrior of the spirit, a warrior of the mind, an activist, a poet. I sense Dr. Hall’s hypersensitivity to suffering – Martin, Malcolm and Jesus all had this hypersensitivity. Both sides of his soul have prophetic leanings; his poetry has the capacity to change ordinary people’s philosophy on social and racial issues . ”
