Abstract
This conference paper draws on the idea of the 'knowing field' to examine Cornel West's mobilization of black audiences to protest against the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson. It argues that West tapped into the values of his hero Curtis Mayfield to pursuade others to make their views known about racial injustice in the public sphere.
