Caleb Gayle with Black Moses: A Saga of Ambition and the Fight for a Black State

Award-winning journalist Caleb Gayle is our special guest in August with his new book, Black Moses: A Saga of Ambition and the Fight for a Black State. In this paradigm-shifting work of American history, Gayle recounts the extraordinary tale of Edward McCabe, a Black man who championed the audacious idea to create a state within the Union governed by and for Black people — and the racism, politics, and greed that thwarted him. The book is a wild ride through American history, which Jonathan Eig, author of King: A Life, calls “an unforgettable account of a forgotten hero.” Hope you can be with us at The NewSouth Bookstore on Thursday, August 21 at 5:30pm.
