Don't Mute Moe: The Vision of an Urban Scholar

Don't Mute Moe: The Vision of an Urban Scholar is a call to action by Ronald "Moe" Moten based on the author's three decades of changing lives, empowering Black youth and families, and making communities safer for "his people" in his beloved Washington, D.C. Moe had more than two dozen op-eds published in the Washington Post, the Washington Times, and other media outlets between 2006 and 2021. Don't Mute Moe is a selection of 16 of those op-eds that have stunning relevance today. Each op-ed is paired with an in-depth interview with Moe conducted by journalist Jeffrey Anderson who has been both a critic and a supporter of Ron Moten's activities over the years. The interviews by Mr. Anderson highlight the remarkable and disturbing relevance these op-eds to current social issues plaguing black urban youth, families, and communities. In the words of one reviewer, Don't Mute Moe "is an incremental uncovering of the steps Moe has taken to ensure the Black community in D.C. isn't just a fond memory of future generations. He is actively putting the pieces in place for Black D.C. to grow with the city and not be pushed out or MUTED." Don't Mute Moe illuminates how Ron "Moe" Moten, an activist fighting for equity and the economic development (among other things) of DC's Black community, has taken on the responsibility of answering this question, not just for himself, but for the entire community.
