Hello,

We are in the process of launching our first ever “One Book, One Campus, One Community,” and are beginning with “The Other Wes Moore.” I’ve noticed that you’ve used this book before for this program and was wondering if your university had copies that they were no longer using that they would be willing to donate. Anything that you can contribute would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your consideration,

Jennifer Thompson

I was the Drum Major the year we won the trophy at Long Beach. I went on stage to receive the trophy and it was in two pieces. We didn’t care….it was a great win!!

Comment on What are your initial thoughts of this read? by Karen C.

I found the book an interesting read and had a hard time putting it down. I felt that it displayed the huge difference that parents (in this case especially mothers) make in their children’s lives, for better or worse. However, I couldn’t shake the feeling that the only similarities between the two Wes Moores situations were that they grew up in the “hood” without their fathers (but for VERY different reasons), they are both black, and there were drugs in their neighborhoods. I felt that the crucial difference between the two was that one’s parent and family cared (through discipline) and was willing to sacrifice for him, and the other parents didn’t and weren’t. This book to me was a cry out to parents to step it up, and a call to to the communities to help parents step it up.
