Darnell Moore, author of "No Ashes in the Fire: Coming of Age Black and Free in America," shares how a vicious homophobic incident he experienced in his teens and his ability to forgive the attackers inspired his memoir.

"I really don't believe in the disposing of black people," Moore told SalonTV's D. Watkins. "I really don't believe in doing to each other what the system has done to us, and I don't believe that punishment and carceral tools are avenues for transformation."
