It almost feels like everyone and their mother can write a memoir these days, but Darnell L. Moore has actually lived a compelling life--he grew up as a gay black man during the height of the AIDS epidemic, became one of the vanguards of the Black Lives Matter movement, and is currently one of the most important voices in young black culture.

A sometimes interesting look at what it was like to grow up black and gay in Camden, NJ in recent decades. Has more than a few blindspots, but is at times enlightening to those of us who have no experience with what the author describes. I would rate this 2.5 stars, rounded up to 3 for this review.
