The White Peril: A Family Memoir
Omo Moses
Beacon Press
From the son of legendary civil rights organizer Robert P. Moses: an unflinching memoir about becoming Black in America that interweaves voices from 3 generations of the Moses family.
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 3 generations of an African American family, all shining a light on the Black experience, all calling fiercely for racial justice.
