Wes Moore, renowned author and activist will speak about the role public service plays in everyday life in changing the future for youth all over the country. Wes Moore has written The Other Wes Moore, a highly acclaimed novel describing how accountability, chance, fate and family had a profound impact on his life. Moore writes “public servants – the teachers, mentors and volunteers who work with our youth – are as imperative to our national standing and survival as our armed forces.” Moore has been featured in media outlets such as People Magazine, The New York Times, The Washington Post, CSPAN and MSNBC. Wes wondered how two young men from the same city, who were around the same age, and even shared a name, could arrive at two completely different destinies. Through a relationship with the other Wes Moore, who is serving a life sentence for killing a police officer, he examines the paths young lives take in America. Council for Children Rights has been the leading voice for children’s rights since 1979. For additional information, please contact Amy Tribble or Penny Hawkins at (704) 372-7961. |
