The white peril : a family memoir / Omo Moses.

Moses, Omo, (author.).

Summary:

In The White Peril, Omo Moses 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 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.
