Omo Moses presents The White Peril: A Family Memoir

In The White Peril, Omo Moses deftly interweaves his own life story with excerpts from both his great-grandfather’s sermons and the writings of his father, the civil rights activist Bob Moses. The result is a powerful chorus of voices that spans three generations of a family, all shining a light on the Black experience, all calling fiercely for racial justice.

Hear from the author himself on themes of family, movement, and more. The event will also feature a five-minute screening of “The Wild,” the first animated chapter from the book.
