Wes Moore discusses “The Other Wes Moore” | Berkeley

Submitted by the Event Organizer

In 2000, as Moore was preparing to attend Oxford, he learned of another young man named Wes Moore who was just two years older, lived in the same neighborhood, and was heading to prison for life for the murder of an off-duty Baltimore police officer. He wrote to the other Wes Moore, and much to his surprise, received a letter back. Through visits with him in prison, and conversations with his family and friends, Moore discovered parallels between their lives. Moore’s book, The Other Wes Moore, is based on these interactions.
