Reimagining the American West:
In this talk, Caleb Gayle, author of Black Moses, uncovers the hidden histories of Black pioneers who dared to dream of self-governance and belonging on the open plains. From post-Reconstruction migration to present-day struggles for representation, Gayle reimagines the West not as a place of rugged individualism, but as a site of collective Black aspiration and resistance.
The first 100 attendees will receive a free copy of his book, Black Moses.
