Answer:

Because his father did not receive urgent and necessary care, due to racism and prejudice.

Step-by-step explanation:

His father was shot three times while chasing the men who robbed the store where he worked. However, even though he was taken to the emergency room and needed urgent care, Wes Moore's country did not receive the proper care. That's because because of his skin color and the community where he lives, the employees had a lot of prejudice and racism, believing that Wes's father was a criminal and was shot due to a reckoning with other criminals.
