Bob Moses in Conversation at Mills

Bob Moses (aka Robert Parris Moses) is one of my lifelong heroes. As a grade-schooler following the Civil Rights Movement and SNCC he stood out as "that guy I want to be like" and his rich and varied life's work make him a worthy role model many times over. This is a pretty awesome opportunity to meet someone who was an actor in lots of the "history you read about in books" and to hear about some important and provocative ideas in the contemporary dialog on education as a national priority. -- DJJR
