This week we are closing out the memoir, The Other Wes Moore 

with a look at the flipside of the story into the wrongful conviction rate of African-American males we will listen to a series of Ted Talks on the phenomena of wrongful convictions, and view the biographical film of Rubin "Hurricane" Carter. 

We will also explore music selections by Bob Dylan and 

Sam Cooke's haunting song "A Change is Gonna Come". 


We have covered the dual and reciprocal evolution of Hip Hop, drugs, and violence, and all that has been shared in class should be used as supporting evidence for our essay test on key themes from The Other Wes Moore. See previous posts for those lessons.
