Ep. 140 Radical Black Love with Darnell Moore
We are thrilled to welcome Darnell Moore to The Stacks. Darnell is an activist, the author of No Ashes in the Fire, and now the host of The Being Seen podcast which focuses on the gay and queer Black male experience. We talk today about Black love, reckoning in memoir, and you get to hear him rifle through his book stacks to tell you about his favorite books.
The Stacks Book Club selection for December is Citizen: An American Lyric by Claudia Rankine. We will discuss the book with Darnell Moore on December 30th.
