Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the great cost and greater reward of moving from white moderate ally to antiracist abolitionist, In Baptized in Tear Gas, minister and activist Elle Dowd invites readers to experience her transformation from what Martin Luther King Jr. referred to as "the white moderate" into an Assata Shakur-reading, courthouse-occupying abolitionist. Like in baptism, this alteration requires parts of us to die-our tone policing, white niceness, respectability politics-so that we may be reborn. Through the Uprising in Ferguson, God made File into something new. Now it's our turn. Book jacket.
