Abstract
I was very excited when I first picked up Wes Moore’s book The Other Wes Moore. After hearing that it was chosen as the common reading text for the incoming class, and also being given the opportunity to co-facilitate a discussion based on the book, I was even more excited.
However, as I read the book, I found myself more frustrated than fulfilled. [excerpt]
