Listen to Wes Moore and write a 15 sentence response.

Wes Moore is the Chief Executive Officer of Robin Hood, one of the largest anti-poverty forces in the nation. He is a bestselling author, a combat veteran, and a social entrepreneur.

Wes’ first book, “The Other Wes Moore,” a perennial New York Times bestseller, captured the nation’s attention on the fine line between success and failure in our communities and in ourselves. That story has been optioned by executive producer Oprah Winfrey and HBO to be made into a movie. He is also the author of the bestselling books “The Work,” “Discovering Wes Moore,” “This Way Home” and the recently released, “Five Days.”

Wes grew up in Baltimore and the Bronx, where he was raised by a single mom. Despite childhood challenges, he graduated Phi Theta Kappa from Valley Forge Military College in 1998 and Phi Beta Kappa from Johns Hopkins University in 2001. He earned an MLitt in International Relations from Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar in 2004. Wes then served as a captain and paratrooper with the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, including a combat deployment to Afghanistan. He later served as a White House Fellow to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

Before becoming CEO at Robin Hood, Wes was the founder and CEO at BridgeEdU, an education platform based in Baltimore addressing the college completion and job placement crisis by reinventing freshman year for underserved students. BridgeEdU was acquired by Edquity, a Brooklyn-based student financial success and emergency aid firm, in June 2019.

Wes has also worked in finance as an investment banker with Deutsche Bank in London and with Citigroup in New York.

Wes lives in Baltimore with his wife and two children.

What moments in this film stood out for you? Why?
Were there any surprises? Was there anything that challenged what you know — or what you thought you knew?
What messages, emotions or ideas will you take away from this film? Why?
What questions do you still have?
What connections can you make between this film and your own life or experience? Have you heard of, witnessed or experienced any anti-Asian discrimination at your school, on social media, in the news or in your community

2.  Read the article that is linked under the section called "Qsts for Writing and Discussion"  
***Choose 3 qsts to respond to.
1. What types of harassment have Asian-Americans been experiencing since the coronavirus began spreading in the United States?2. Community leaders say the recent wave of anti-Asian violence and harassment was spurred last year by the rhetoric of former President Donald J. Trump. What power does language have to incite discrimination and racism?3. How has the pandemic hit San Francisco’s Chinatown, America’s oldest and largest Chinatown, particularly hard?
4. What evidence is there that discrimination against Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders has grown during the pandemic? Why is it difficult to quantify incidences of harassment many Asian-Americans have experienced?

5. Some of the people arrested in attacks against Asian-Americans are Black, bringing complicated racial dynamics to the forefront. According to Lai Wa Wu, the policy and alliance director for the San Francisco-based Chinese Progressive Association, what perpetuates tensions among communities of color? In what ways have these communities also supported one another amid the pandemic and a national reckoning on race?6. This article includes many ways in which people have tried to address anti-Asian discrimination. Identify at least two ways in which:
People have responded on an individual level.
People have responded on a community level (for example, in a specific neighborhood, city or state).
People have responded on a national level.
Which of these responses do you think might be the most effective in stopping violence, harassment and racism against Asian-Americans? Which, if any, might be the least effective in your opinion? Why?7. In the video you watched in the warm up, Katherine Oung says, “It seems like since the start of the Coronavirus outbreak, schools have been a petri dish for racism. It’s dangerous to normalize behavior like this for people my age.” Do you agree with this statement? Why or why not? What connections can you make between the racially charged comments you might hear at school and the harassment and violence against Asian-Americans that you read about in the article?
