Walter Mosley is a prolific author best known for his crime novels. He has authored numerous novels, plays, and TV episodes. Born to a Black father and a Jewish woman, Mosley has taken issue with the lack of diversity within the publishing industry. In efforts to rectify this inequality, he worked with the City College of New York to create The Publishing Certificate Program, which helps minority students get into the publishing industry. His work for both the Black and Jewish communities has been extraordinary and we salute his commitment to speaking his truth.
