as posted by the channelDarnell L. Moore, "No Ashes in the Fire" at Politics and Prose on 6/
After the murder of Michael Brown, Moore organized bus trips from New York to Ferguson, becoming one of the initiators of the Black Lives Matter movement. This is just one of the many courageous and inspiring acts that have contributed to Moore’s being named one of The Root 100, one of Ebony magazine's Power 100, and one of Planned Parenthood's 99 Dream Keepers. As this compelling memoir shows, however, Moore’s triumphs are rooted in pain and suffering. He grew up in Camden, a city visibly scarred by uprisings and repression. He was bullied as a child and nearly burned to death in an anti-gay hate crime at age fourteen. Against the odds, Moore survived his early traumas and has found his calling in fighting for justice. Moore will be in conversation with Clint Smith, a writer, PhD candidate at Harvard University, and author of Counting Descent.
Darnell L. Moore is an editor-at-large at CASSIUS (Urban One), a columnist at LogoTV.com and NewNextNow.com, and a contributor at Mic, where he hosted their widely viewed digital series The Movement. He writes regularly for Ebony, Advocate, Vice, and Guardian. Moore was one of the original Black Lives Matter organizers, organizing bus trips from New York to Ferguson after the murder of Michael Brown. Moore is a writer-in-residence at the Center of African American Religion, Sexual Politics, and Social Justice at Columbia University, has taught at NYU, Rutgers, Fordham, and Vassar, and was trained at Princeton Theological Seminary. In 2016, he was named one of The Root 100, and in 2015 he was named one of Ebony magazine's Power 100 and Planned Parenthood's 99 Dream Keepers. He divides his time between Brooklyn and Atlanta.
