The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates
by Wes Moore, A&S '01, University Trustee

Hosted by Associate Professor Katrina McDonald,
Department of Sociology,
Associate Dean, Multicultural Affairs

"Moore helps us to appreciate the distinction 'between second chances and last chances.' This is a book for persons of all ages, particularly young black men who are striving to build strong lives in an environment that would have them fail before their 18th birthday. I'm terribly proud of this work."

About this Month's Selection

"The Other Wes Moore is a fascinating journey both into the lives of two particular African-American men and into the enormous challenges faced by scores of nameless other black men who face enormous challenges navigating the contemporary streets of American's urban core. Moore helps us to appreciate the distinction 'between second chances and last chances.'"
