Join us for a discussion of the New York Times bestselling book “The Other Wes Moore.” “The Other Wes Moore” tells the story of two African-American boys, both growing up in Baltimore, and sharing the same name. The boys’ lives take very different paths, as one becomes a Rhodes Scholar and the other is serving a life sentence for murder. Join us to discuss the book, as well as the role mentors and community leaders play in shaping the lives of young people. We will be joined by Joshua Bates, of the Kirwan Institute for the study of Race and Ethnicity. Joshua Bates is Social Policy Analyst at the Kirwan Institute. His research is focused on urban poverty, juvenile justice issues, community trauma, and program evaluation. Dinner will be provided. RSVP here.
