Unbound: Darnell L. Moore

'Writer and activist Darnell L. Moore celebrated the launch of his memoir, No Ashes in the Fire: Coming of Age Black and Free in America (Nation Books), an honest reckoning with family, place, and what it means to be free. Moore hosted this interdisciplinary evening which featured a performance by dancer Déon Sass, with original music composed by Guthrie P. Ramsey, Jr; musical interludes by DJ Just Love; and a series of one-on-one conversations with authors and cultural critics Brittney Cooper, Marc Lamont Hill, Kierna Mayo and Darnell’s mother, followed by a panel and audience discussion on Black literature and the role of critics of color. Co-presented by BAM and Greenlight Bookstore.'
