Never Forget: A Journey Of Revelations is the second album by Cornel West, and the first to be credited to Cornel West & BMWMB.

Cornel West is an American philosopher, author, critic, pastor, actor, and civil rights activist. At the time of the album's release, he served as the Class of 1943 University Professor at Princeton University, where he taught in the Center for African American Studies and in the department of Religion. BMWMB is an acronym for "Black Men Who Mean Business".

The album contains sixteen tracks (mostly rap and hip-hop tracks) on which Cornel West collaborates with black musicians to comment on social conditions affecting African-Americans. Prince contributed the song Dear Mr. Man, previously released on Musicology, and spoken vocal overdubs were added by Cornel West (it is unlikely Prince was directly involved in the writing or recording of these overdubs).
