Omo was born in 1972 in Tanzania, where his parents had fled to escape targeted harassment by the US government. He did not encounter white supremacy until the family moved back to America when he was 4. Here he learned what it meant to be Black.聽He came of age in a Black enclave of Cambridge, Massachusetts, became a passionate basketball player, lived in the shadow of his father鈥檚 Civil Rights work聽but did not feel like a part of it until his college basketball career came to an unceremonious end. Unsure what to do next, he took up his father鈥檚 offer to go with him to Mississippi and teach math to Algebra Project students. Omo didn鈥檛 know it yet, but it was among those young people that he would find his purpose.

滨苍听The White Peril, Omo Moses deftly interweaves his own life story with excerpts from both his great-grandfather鈥檚 sermons and the writings of his father, the civil rights activist Bob Moses. The result is聽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.

This book is at once a coming-of-age story, a multigenerational family memoir, an epic father-son road trip,聽a searing account of the Black male experience, and聽a work that powerfully revives Rev. Moses鈥檚 demand for liberation.
