What a sentiment from @calebgayle.bsky.social on knowing when research is done for a book. While discussing Black Moses (www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/717975...), Gayle describes it's when as writer he can offer people whose lives have been married by ugliness the gift of beautiful sentences-WOW!

Journalist @calebgayle.bsky.social’s new book is his first major work relying on nothing but the historical record and — he emphasizes — collaboration with historians.
His hope is that "there's greater mind share, skill sharing, content sharing" between journalists and historians in the future.
"Reformers like Elizabeth Rous Comstock were not animated by conquest, but earnest—and complicated—charity towards Black migrants."
Awesome piece by Caleb Gayle @calebgayle.bsky.social in Christianity Today; and excited about his new book, Black Moses 📚

In his new book, "Black Moses: A Saga of Ambition and the Fight for a Black State," journalist @calebgayle.bsky.social continues his exploration of murky histories, reporting a story that doesn't have straightforward heroes or villains.
Congrats @calebgayle.bsky.social on getting a book reviewed by The New York Times!

"Today, with the White House attempting to control discussion of African American history...BLACK MOSES is a useful reminder that for nearly a century after the Civil War, what was called democracy was indistinguishable from white power." @calebgayle.bsky.social

Dream of a lifetime to have Greg Grandin call my work timely and useful. Raves like this come so seldom that you have to treasure it!

BLACK MOSES @calebgayle.bsky.social, excerpted this week in @smithsonianmag.bsky.social: "It is the story of trying, why we cannot stop trying, and why being able to try is worth remembering at all." @riverheadbooks.bsky.social

"[T]he moral decisions we must make [today] haven’t gotten easier. Who we detain, whose histories we erase, which freedoms we underfund.... The difference now is that there’s no Kansas to send our convictions to." @calebgayle.bsky.social @bostonglobe.com

@hamiltoncain.bsky.social calls BLACK MOSES @calebgayle.bsky.social "eloquent" & "engrossing." "Gayle does more than just rescue a forgotten yet crucial figure; he places McCabe at the center of radical liberation." @riverheadbooks.bsky.social @startribune.com www.startribune.com/edward-mccab...
