Exclusive: Tavis Smiley and Cornel West to 'Occupy Los Angeles' This Weekend

Tavis Smiley and Dr. Cornel West are currently making the media rounds after recently returning from an 18-city, nine-state tour of poverty across America. The end result of that tour is a week-long television series on poverty in America–which airs all next week on PBS. We recently spoke with the pair, who told FishbowlLA they will be in Los Angeles this weekend, speaking and protesting in solidarity with the Occupy Los Angeles movement outside LA City Hall.

“I’m over-elated to see fellow citizens standing up the way they are,” West told FishbowlLA by phone.
