The White Peril by Omo Moses is beautiful, fiercely honest, and inspiring.
Written as a family memoir, Omo Moses’s THE WHITE PERIL is about family, both in the sense of loving bonds between parents, children, and siblings and also in the sense of the wider family working together for justice and equality. @katekilla.bsky.social
Omo Moses’s ‘The White Peril’ tells a multigenerational story of activism and kinship, including his father, Bob Moses - The Boston Globe
The MathTalk founder weaves three generations’ tales together in his "family memoir," out this week.
