Harry T. & Harriette V. Moore
Research Papers

Harry and Harriett Moore were people of extra-ordinary courage. In a tragic era of America's history when lynchings were too common; in an area where the extremism of bigotry was particularly rampant; these two fought the good fight for America's dream of "liberty and justice for all."

But, that is only part of the story. These two were people of great dignity, compassion and inspiration. They left behind a few letters. A few stories were written about them. And, people still live who feel the strength of their inspiration.

We offer some of them to you here, so you can discover two heroic Americans who were murdered by the blackest of hearts. May their example live and grow, that our nation may someday fulfill their dreams.
