CA’s SPEAK OUT Event: Wes Moore on the Transformative Power of Education
Parent and students won’t want to miss acclaimed author Wes Moore, who will speak at CA on Wednesday, October 4, 2017, in CA’s Campus Center Dining Hall. Moore will share his remarkable personal story of overcoming adversity through education. His moving life journey from wayward inner-city youth to decorated veteran, Rhodes Scholar, White House Fellow, and business leader is the subject of a much-anticipated major motion picture, The Other Wes Moore, from Executive Producer Oprah Winfrey. Based on his New York Times bestseller, the film shows how educational opportunities, strong parental influence, mentors, and a community support network helped Moore transcend the fate of a boy with the same name who lived just blocks away from him and whose life took a tragically different path. The event is free and open to the community. RSVPs via the CA website are required. Click here for more information.
