Wes Moore, the bestselling author and social entrepreneur, and his mother, Joy Thomas Moore, are live with Tom Hall.
Wes Moore is the CEO of the New York-based anti-poverty organization Robin Hood. He is the author of several books, including two New York Times bestsellers: The Other Wes Moore and The Work: Searching for a Life that Matters. He also is the host of Future City, which airs here on WYPR on the third Wednesday of the month, right after Midday.
