They cornered him while he was walking home from school, harassed him because they assumed he was gay, and poured a jug of gasoline on him. He escaped, but just barely. It wasn't the last time he would face death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree decades later, Moore is an award-winning writer and activist, a leader in the Movement for Black Lives, and a tireless advocate for justice and liberation. In \u003ci\u003eNo Ashes in the Fire\u003c\/i\u003e, he sets out to understand how that scared, bullied teenager not only survived, but found his calling. Moore traces his life from his childhood in Camden, New Jersey, a city scarred by uprisings and repression; to his search for intimacy in the gay neighborhoods of Philadelphia; and, finally, to the movements in Newark, Brooklyn, and Ferguson where he could fight for those who, like him, survive on society's edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNo Ashes in the Fire\u003c\/i\u003e is a story of beauty and hope - and an honest reckoning with family, with place, and with what it means to be free.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PublicAffairs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47034454049008,"sku":"9781568589480","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781568589480_p0.jpg?v=1763792858","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781568589480","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
