Wes Moore's Powerful Speeches at Commencements and Graduations

Maryland Governor Wes Moore, the only Black governor in the US, has spoken out against politicians who ban books and muzzle educators, calling it an effort to prevent people from understanding their power. He made the remarks during a commencement speech at Morehouse College, and encouraged graduates to confront the threat and use the challenges learned from previous eras of American history for the betterment of mankind. Democrats see book banning as a galvanizing issue heading into next year’s general election cycle, and Moore is seen as a rising star within the party.
