This book chronicles the life of both Wes Moores, and it was fascinating and interesting, but I think in the end where it fell flat for me was that they never identified what made the difference for the two men, although it was clearly obvious that the difference was literally one Wes ended up with access to money - which bought him an education at a school that was entirely focused on his success, possibly some ambition, but mostly it seemed, money.

I wish there were more interjections of the Wes Moore in prison. But his existing quotes were poignant, especially about performing expectations without knowing if they’re yours or not.
I was hesitant to read what I deemed as “black trauma” but it only skimmed the surface of that. It’s not gratuitous.
