Annotation
Rhodes scholar, army captain, White House Fellow, one of Crain's "Top Young Business Leaders," and one of People's "Most Eligible Bachelors," Moore also shares a name with a man born in his neighborhood in the same year and now serving a life sentence in prison. He uses their dual stories to explain the difficulties facing young men, particularly young African American men. Important, especially for urban libraries nationwide.
