My conversation with Wes Moore:
"To discover to the world something which deeply concerns it, and of which it was previously ignorant; to prove to it that it had been mistaken on some vital point of temporal or spiritual interest, is as important a service as a human being can render to his fellow creatures..." John Stuart Mill, "On Liberty"

The Other Wes Moore
Every day we make choices. Sometimes those choices; the friends, the mentors and the teachers, shape our lives in ways we may not realize for years to come. Wes Moore escaped a rough and tumble childhood on the streets of Baltimore, to become a model of achievement. He is a decorated combat veteran, White House Fellow and business leader. In 2000, just after he'd been awarded a Rhodes Scholarship, he learned about another Wes Moore. That Wes Moore would soon be sentenced to life in prison for killing a police officer. Wes Moore, in his new book The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates
truly embodies the words of Robert Frost: "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference."
