There are few people in this world that have inspired me to get up and put forth action immediately. Dr. George Lipsitz holds his own in a very distinct category. His lectures in college lit a fire under me to go out there and do something to change the way we look at the world. The fact that Evil Monito was found in the hallways of academia is of no consequence. Dr. Lipsitz is one of the Nation’s leading voices in Ethnic Studies, he has the ability to dissect popular culture and past history like no other. A lot of the way I look at the world, the way I approach my projects were heavily influenced by Dr. Lipsitz. Recently I’ve been connecting with him to talk about some potential career paths for myself. I encourage you all to look into this man’s teachings and absorb his philosophy.
