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

SKU: MuteMoe

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

 

This book is an incremental uncovering of the steps Moe has taken to ensure the Black community in DC isn't just remembered by future generations. He is actively putting the pieces in place for Black DC to grow with the city and not be pushed out or MUTED.

 

Don't Mute Moe is a collaboration between Ron and journalist Jeffrey Anderson. It is composed of 12 op-eds that were published in the Washington Post, Washington Times and other publications. The interviews by Mr. Anderson highlight their remarkable and disturbing relevance to current social issues plaguing black urban youth, families, and communities.

    Honoring Legacy & Community Leaders

    The awards didn’t just spotlight music — they also recognized the leaders, advocates, and visionaries who have championed Go-Go for decades. Community figures, cultural promoters, and public officials were acknowledged for their contributions in preserving and elevating the genre. DC’s Mayor was in attendance, highlighting the city’s ongoing support for Go-Go as an official cultural asset while celebrating its global reach from humble neighborhood beginnings to worldwide recognition.

    Emerging Talent & Future Forward Vibes

    Alongside the legends, the 2026 Go-Go Music Awards shined a spotlight on emerging bands and fresh voices, reaffirming that the genre continues to grow through new generations. One breakout moment came as Major League Band, hailing from nearby Fredericksburg, took home Breakout Band of the Year, a milestone moment for the group and a clear sign that the future of Go-Go is vibrant and expansive.

    A Sold-Out Success & Cultural Milestone

    The event’s sold-out status and overflowing enthusiasm demonstrated not just the enduring popularity of Go-Go — but its cultural significance and unity as a community movement. Fans lined up outside hours before doors opened, brimming with pride and eager to celebrate the music that has defined DC for half a century. The atmosphere was electric, reflective of Go-Go’s foundational role in local culture and collective identity.
