2010 Chicago Tribune Printers Row Lit Fest: Wes Moore, author of "The Other Wes Moore"

Wes Moore talked about his book "The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates" and took questions from Book TV viewers. In 2000, Wes Moore had recently been named a Rhodes Scholar in his final year of college at Johns Hopkins University when he read a newspaper article about another Wes Moore his age and from the same area of Greater Baltimore who was on his way to serve a life term in prison. He explored how both young black men raised in inner-city neighborhoods by single mothers took different directions in life.
