As we prepare for our final episode of The Tight Rope next week, we wanted to take it back to where it all started. Please enjoy this re-release of our very first episode.

In this profound episode, Cornel West and Tricia Rose use Prince's iconic "Purple Rain" to explore a spectrum of topics. Join us for an in-depth discussion on race, gender fluidity, justice, resilience and excellence.
