Speaker 1: Tenderfoot TV. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast

Speaker 1: This podcast contains subject matter which may not be suitable
Speaker 1: for everyone. Listener discretion is advised.
Speaker 2: Hi, everyone, welcome back to Facing Evil. I'm Rascha Pecerrero.
Speaker 3: And i am Evet gent Lay. And today we are
Speaker 3: delving into a little known but important event of the
Speaker 3: civil rights movement. It's a murder of two of the
Speaker 3: very first people actively fighting for change, and to this
Speaker 3: day there's been no justice. We're talking about Harry and
Speaker 3: Harriet Moore.
Speaker 2: Yes, and we will be joined by two members of
Speaker 2: the Harry T. And Harriet Vmore Cultural Center, and they'll
Speaker 2: talk with us about the Moores and the fantastic work
Speaker 2: that their organization is doing. But first, our producer Trevor
Speaker 2: is going to take us through today's case. To say
Speaker 2: the Moore's work was dangerous does not begin to describe
Speaker 2: the risks they ran in the Jim Crow.
Speaker 3: South FBI investigations pointed to the KKK for the murders,
Speaker 3: but no one was ever charged.
Speaker 4: There was a reluctance on the pod of top officials
Speaker 4: in the FBI to upset people in the South by
Speaker 4: going overboard to find the killos of this Negro organizer,
Speaker 4: as he was called.
Speaker 1: Harry and Harriet Moore were civil rights pioneers who were
Speaker 1: killed on Christmas of nineteen fifty one. Harriet was an
Speaker 1: elementary school teacher and Harry was the school principal. In addition,
Speaker 1: Harry started the Brevard County chapter of the NAACP in
Speaker 1: nineteen thirty four. He also found the first lawsuit in
Speaker 1: the Deep South to make black and white teacher salaries equal,
Speaker 1: and later, after becoming president of the state NAACP, he
Speaker 1: launched investigations into police brutality and every lynching that took
Speaker 1: place in Florida. The work was dangerous, but Moore knew
Speaker 1: this and famously said, quote I'm going to keep doing
Speaker 1: it even if it cost me my life end quote.
Speaker 1: Local white authorities had taken notice of the Moore's work
Speaker 1: in the community and they didn't like it, especially so
Speaker 1: when Harry Moore organized a campaign against the wrongful convictions
Speaker 1: of three young men who had been found guilty of
Speaker 1: rape of a white girl by an all white jury.
Speaker 1: After the accused rape, local Sheriff Willis McCall formed an
Speaker 1: armed posse that found and shot one of the accused
Speaker 1: men hundreds of times. Despite a lack of evidence, a
Speaker 1: jury quickly convicted the other three men who were still alive.
Speaker 1: One was sentenced to life in prison, the other two
Speaker 1: to death. A legal team led by Thirdgood Marshall, won
Speaker 1: an appeal in the u. S. Supreme Court against the
Speaker 1: convictions of the two who were sentenced to death, and
Speaker 1: a new trial was scheduled, but before it could take place,
Speaker 1: Sheriff McCall shot the two men himself. In November nineteen
Speaker 1: fifty one, Harry Moore called for an indictment for murder
Speaker 1: against Sheriff McCall and called on Florida Governor Fuller Warren
Speaker 1: to remove him from office, but then six weeks later,
Speaker 1: on Christmas Day, a bomb exploded in the Moor's home,
Speaker 1: killing the couple. Between nineteen fifty one in two thousand eight,
Speaker 1: there were five investigations into the murder. The early ones
Speaker 1: were quashed or died out. However, evidence gathered and refined
Speaker 1: over sixty years points to four suspects. One was Earl Brooklyn,
Speaker 1: a leader in the k k K with a reputation
Speaker 1: for violence, but he died in nineteen fifty two. Another
Speaker 1: suspect was his partner, Tillman Belvin, who also died in
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty two. The third suspect's name was Edward Spivey.
Speaker 1: He had detailed knowledge about the Moor's family home, but
Speaker 1: denied ever being involved, and in nineteen seventy eight, while
Speaker 1: on his deathbed, Spivey named the fourth suspect, Joseph Cox.
Speaker 1: Joseph Cox was a secretary of the local KKK. Spivey
Speaker 1: said Cox had been paid five thousand dollars to plant
Speaker 1: the bomb and had used that money to pay off
Speaker 1: his mortgage. This was backed up by bank records which
Speaker 1: showed he'd satisfied the mortgage just four days before the bombing.
Speaker 1: But one day after his second interview with the FBI
Speaker 1: in nineteen fifty two, Cox took his own life, and
Speaker 1: so all the suspects are now dead. The tragic deaths
Speaker 1: of Harry and Harriet Moore made them the first people
Speaker 1: to be killed as part of the civil rights movement
Speaker 1: that would explode in the following decades, yet their name
Speaker 1: do not appear among the forty names listed on the
Speaker 1: Granite Civil Rights Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama, and their story
Speaker 1: is rarely taught in history books. And so who were
Speaker 1: Harry and Harriet Moore? Who was responsible for their murder?
Speaker 1: And how does their story demonstrate the long and tireless
Speaker 1: battle for civil rights predating even the fifties and sixties.
Speaker 3: Alrighty, well, welcome back to Facing Evil. We have got
Speaker 3: some very very special guests here today and they're going
Speaker 3: to be talking about the life and legacy of the Moors.
Speaker 3: The Harry T. And Harriet V. More Cultural Center is
Speaker 3: a memorial and learning space in Mims, Florida, and it's
Speaker 3: dedicated to preserving the memory and civil rights contributions of
Speaker 3: the Moors. We have Sonia Mallard who is the Cultural
Speaker 3: Center coordinator, and we have Kashanda Wright, she is the
Speaker 3: Cultural Center leader. We are so blessed and so honored
Speaker 3: to have both of you beautiful ladies with us here
Speaker 3: today on Facing Evil.
Speaker 5: Thank you, We're happy to be here very much.
Speaker 3: So how did both of you first learn or get involved,
Speaker 3: you know, with the Moore's Cultural Center.
Speaker 5: Yes, I first learned about the Moors. After I moved
Speaker 5: from New York to the state of Florida, right, and
Speaker 5: my husband and not our children. We lived here for
Speaker 5: a while, and you know, life happens. So we came
Speaker 5: down and take care of my husband grandmother, and I
Speaker 5: was doing chemo at the time. And afterwards I met Cassandra,
Speaker 5: and I found out about this place. I used to
Speaker 5: come here and just look around, and I was just
Speaker 5: so intrigued and so amazed, and I couldn't believe how
Speaker 5: did I never hear or learn about this man and
Speaker 5: this family? And I was right right right, So I
Speaker 5: just found to be a jewl like a gym, and
Speaker 5: I was just so fascinated. I don't think I ever left.
Speaker 3: Wow, And what about you, Krishanda.
Speaker 6: So I learned about the Moores when I was doing
Speaker 6: this project in school, and it was just two lines.
Speaker 6: We had to pick a person who we admired and
Speaker 6: tell why we admired them, and I happened to pick
Speaker 6: Thurgrid Marshall. But when you're researching history, it just says
Speaker 6: two lines about the Moors. It says that he went
Speaker 6: and greeed for two weeks for his friends Harry and
Speaker 6: Harriet Moore and you just that's it.
Speaker 5: That's all I said.
Speaker 6: It didn't give you any explanation of who they were,
Speaker 6: what they were, what it was about, or anything. So
Speaker 6: fast forward, I was working at the library in Titusville
Speaker 6: and they were asking people if they would like to
Speaker 6: help because they were putting the information together about the
Speaker 6: Moors Center. And they were like, we need people to
Speaker 6: come and work, and so I was like, oh, that'll
Speaker 6: be something, let's do that. And so I started doing
Speaker 6: it and we got the information together and we were
Speaker 6: helping to put the information on the wall, and the
Speaker 6: lady let us know that they would be interviewing for jobs.
Speaker 6: And since I already knew the information, there was no
Speaker 6: reason for me not.
Speaker 5: To interview for the job. And I happened to get it.
Speaker 5: So that's how I got involved.
Speaker 3: And here we are, and here we are. You know,
Speaker 3: that's interesting what you said, Sonya, because when we were
Speaker 3: doing the case, I was thinking the same thing. How
Speaker 3: did we not know about Harry and Harriet Moore? And
Speaker 3: I even called my cousin who went to Tuskegee University,
Speaker 3: and I was like, were you taught this in college?
Speaker 3: And she said no, Like she started googling on her
Speaker 3: phone and she's like, I can't believe that I've never
Speaker 3: heard this story like ever. So it's just it's, you know,
Speaker 3: more people, the more we talk about it, more people
Speaker 3: need to know about the Moors and their legacy. Can
Speaker 3: you tell us your perspective on the impact that the
Speaker 3: Moors had on the civil rights movement? I mean, when
Speaker 3: you think about this, this was even before doctor King, right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I usually felt like history was erased yet again.
Speaker 5: So given speaking engagements, I like to always start off
Speaker 5: by saying, he was the most hated black man in
Speaker 5: the state of Florida. Right, he was before I had
Speaker 5: a dream today, doctor King. He was even before a
Speaker 5: boy any means necessary. How nobody ever really heard of him?
Speaker 5: I like to think it's because it was before Brown
Speaker 5: versus the Board of Education, it was before television. But
Speaker 5: the impact that the Moors really had on the civil
Speaker 5: rights movement was explosive as the bomb that was placed
Speaker 5: underneath the bedroom floor, right. The impact it ripped the
Speaker 5: legal struggle that was eventually one for equal pay with
Speaker 5: black teachers with the help of WACP attorney Thurgood Marshall
Speaker 5: in nineteen thirty seven. You know, Harry fouled the first
Speaker 5: lawsuit in the South, Caller for black teachers and white
Speaker 5: teachers that make the same amount of pay. Their impact
Speaker 5: was so explosive that black men and women started to
Speaker 5: raise their heads right. They stopped looking down and feeling
Speaker 5: hopeless and helpless, but proud. They were proud that they
Speaker 5: impact shattered feelings of despair. But they gathered blacks throughout
Speaker 5: the state of Florida, starting the NAACP throughout the state.
Speaker 5: See Harry T. Moore. They understood the assignment and they
Speaker 5: knew collectively we were more powerful. Together were powerful and.
Speaker 3: Wow. So why do we think.
Speaker 2: That Harry and Harriet were left out of the history books?
Speaker 5: Well, there are two folds.
Speaker 6: One is that in nineteen fifty one when mister Moore
Speaker 6: from the nineteen twenties, late twenties to nineteen fifty one,
Speaker 6: when he was really doing his activism, it was during
Speaker 6: the time of radio. Well, in nineteen fifty two we
Speaker 6: get television and everything becomes about television. We have no recording,
Speaker 6: we have no visual and so his story kind of
Speaker 6: gets lost because now we're no longer getting our news
Speaker 6: from radio, We're getting our news on television.
Speaker 5: So that's one reason.
Speaker 6: And two, I think that it's like one of those
Speaker 6: things where people want to act like it didn't happen,
Speaker 6: because mister Moore really was the forerunner to how the
Speaker 6: civil rights movement was going to progress. He was doing
Speaker 6: the things at a time when it was very dangerous
Speaker 6: for him to be doing them because he could have
Speaker 6: gotten lynched, his family could have been killed. And so
Speaker 6: I think that once it happened and he was killed,
Speaker 6: although he was a catalyst for other people to start
Speaker 6: doing it, they kind of wanted to keep that quiet
Speaker 6: about what happened because of fear. I mean, it's a
Speaker 6: small town. People are fearful that someone might come back.
Speaker 6: They're fearful that they might go after his relatives or
Speaker 6: her relatives.
Speaker 5: So you know, in a small town you have to
Speaker 5: that fear.
Speaker 6: Over oversteps all the things that people really want to
Speaker 6: say and wanted to but they're so afraid.
Speaker 3: They were good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can understand that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that makes I mean, that makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 3: And you know, fear can overtake everything, you know, But
Speaker 3: thankful for people like Harry and Harriet that persevered. We
Speaker 3: always need those people who stay diligent to the end,
Speaker 3: you know, till the unfortunate end. Can you tell us
Speaker 3: how the Moors Cultural Center works to change that? Tell
Speaker 3: us what the mission statement is?
Speaker 5: Well, I like to say our mission is simple, right,
Speaker 5: So we work under parks and recreation in the county,
Speaker 5: so we're like twofold. And then we have a board
Speaker 5: of directors, so we have a couple of mission statements.
Speaker 5: But I think what's so important is that our mission,
Speaker 5: with Cassandra and I running this center here is simple.
Speaker 5: We share the legacy of the Moors right. Our story
Speaker 5: is shared between the era of eighteen sixty the Emancipation
Speaker 5: Proclamation to nineteen sixty four, the Civil Rights Voting Act.
Speaker 5: And how we do this it's by education, it's by teaching,
Speaker 5: it's through storytelling, it's through lectures, it's through movies and
Speaker 5: events and simple words, it's experience. So when you come here,
Speaker 5: and you guys have to come, we have experience. Many
Speaker 5: set foot on our grounds, you will feel the goosebumps.
Speaker 5: We have so many surveys and people giving us feedback
Speaker 5: about I felt something and I don't know what it was.
Speaker 5: And I love to just pass the boxes of tissues.
Speaker 5: I love it. I love it give them the boxes
Speaker 5: of tissues. It's almost like a day's y'all, vol you've
Speaker 5: been here before, kind of feel that family, feel that warmth,
Speaker 5: that love, but yet something evil lurking in the growths
Speaker 5: kind of feel. And that's pretty much our I feel
Speaker 5: like our mission is simple. If someone can walk in
Speaker 5: unknown knowing the mules will walk out with a powerful
Speaker 5: impact and them wanting to impact others by sharing the legacy,
Speaker 5: our mission has been accomplished.
Speaker 3: And I feel I feel that we feel that energy,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 2: We can feel it through through the microphone and there
Speaker 2: through the headphone.
Speaker 3: What year did it actually open?
Speaker 2: And like how did it finally like come to being
Speaker 2: in fruition.
Speaker 6: So it started out with a small group that had
Speaker 6: asked permission to come on to the property and do
Speaker 6: a ceremony once a year. Now the group were able
Speaker 6: to get enough funding to actually be able to approaches
Speaker 6: the plan. They were eventually able to get enough funding
Speaker 6: to be able to pay for this center, and they
Speaker 6: had to get a road in order to build this center,
Speaker 6: and they built the access road, and then there was
Speaker 6: a whole journey about what we're going to name it,
Speaker 6: and they decided upon name it Freedom avenue, which is
Speaker 6: Africo of course.
Speaker 5: And then they build me.
Speaker 6: It opened in April of two thousand and four, so
Speaker 6: I started working here in October of two thousand and four,
Speaker 6: Soda and so it was a progressive like a plan.
Speaker 6: They had the building, and then we got the reflection
Speaker 6: pond and the gazebo, and then we got the pavilion.
Speaker 6: And now we have a replica of the house and
Speaker 6: we have a trail as an African American civil rights
Speaker 6: walking trail that encompasses the park. So now it has gotten,
Speaker 6: you know, past zero four stages of what they wanted
Speaker 6: to do. And for us, when people come on to
Speaker 6: the property, I hear people say like, I wasn't planning
Speaker 6: on coming here, but I got out there interstate and
Speaker 6: something just was calling me to the property and I
Speaker 6: just feel so at peace here. And then you tell
Speaker 6: them the story and they're shocked about the story because
Speaker 6: of how they feel when they get to the grounds.
Speaker 6: And that's what is so important is that even though
Speaker 6: this was a very tragic story and this was about
Speaker 6: a family, and I think that we kind of missed
Speaker 6: that when we talk about the situation with the Mores,
Speaker 6: we talk about mister Moore and all the things that
Speaker 6: he did. But we don't really talk about the family
Speaker 6: aspect because I'm pretty sure if his wife wasn't on board,
Speaker 6: none of this would have happened. Now, this is a
Speaker 6: lot for a wife to sit silent and not have
Speaker 6: a say so in. And because she was a like
Speaker 6: minded she realized not only was she going to put
Speaker 6: herself and him in danger, but she was also putting
Speaker 6: her two girls in danger. And so you have to
Speaker 6: think about they were all in this together. They were one,
Speaker 6: and she trusted him implicitly with their lives. And so
Speaker 6: when we talk about them, we always said, well, mister
Speaker 6: Moore and how all these fabulous things. But she was
Speaker 6: really the sounding board. She was really the person that
Speaker 6: encouraged him when he was faltering. And the children did
Speaker 6: the speeches because he was not although he was a
Speaker 6: very great writer and he was so meticulous and crafty
Speaker 6: with this wording, he was not really an orator. But
Speaker 6: his children learned to give the speeches and they became
Speaker 6: powerful orators. And so you start to see that this
Speaker 6: was all a family project. This was a family who
Speaker 6: had made the choice to do this, and with making
Speaker 6: that choice, they gave up things. They gave up their safety,
Speaker 6: they gave up time being parents, they gave up time
Speaker 6: being children, they gave up time being a wife and
Speaker 6: a husband. And it wasn't even for their benefit. It
Speaker 6: was for the benefit of the next generation, because they
Speaker 6: lived a very comfortable life. She was a school teacher,
Speaker 6: he was a school teacher and a principal. Their two
Speaker 6: children were college educated. They had a third income with
Speaker 6: their business of the orange grow and they.
Speaker 5: Owned all of their properties.
Speaker 6: They owned their own business, so it wasn't like they
Speaker 6: had not reached what we considered the American dreation, owning
Speaker 6: your own property, owning your own business, having two professionals
Speaker 6: in the household, having your children both college educated. If
Speaker 6: it had not been for the fact that they wanted
Speaker 6: this to be an easier transition for people who came
Speaker 6: along after them, they could have lived up to the
Speaker 6: right old age of whatever. But they made the decision
Speaker 6: as a couple and as a family to take on
Speaker 6: and pursue this, and that made all the difference. And
Speaker 6: I don't know how many people would give up all
Speaker 6: of their comforts to just make sure that someone who
Speaker 6: they don't even know, who may not even appreciate what
Speaker 6: they have done, but they did it anyone that's a
Speaker 6: different mindset than most people have. And that's why you
Speaker 6: have to look at them in that like they're amazing.
Speaker 6: When you see great people, you know in the world,
Speaker 6: this is one of the people that you have to
Speaker 6: think that their mindset had to be totally way different
Speaker 6: from any mindset.
Speaker 5: Than we have.
Speaker 3: Now you both have spoke so eloquently about the experience.
Speaker 3: You know what it feels like. You know, I can
Speaker 3: almost close my eyes and you were talking Sonya when
Speaker 3: you were talking in Kashanda, and feel myself on that
Speaker 3: property just in a few more words, because it was
Speaker 3: so powerful. Can you tell our listeners who would love
Speaker 3: to come and visit? You know, for the visitors, what
Speaker 3: can they expect the moment they walk in? What do
Speaker 3: they see? What do they learn immediately about the More's
Speaker 3: cultural center When.
Speaker 5: A visitor arrived from our property, the first thing they're
Speaker 5: gonna always know right away is that when they walk
Speaker 5: in is experience right from the start, from the duel,
Speaker 5: and it's always something new, a new exhibit, a new movie,
Speaker 5: new lectures by different dynamic speakers from around the world,
Speaker 5: and new art our lobby in our four year area
Speaker 5: is never the same. So even if you come and
Speaker 5: visit us, when you come back, nothing will be the
Speaker 5: same in the museum. You know, some museums to pitch
Speaker 5: are stays right there for fifty years. Change things. We
Speaker 5: do spring cleaning, right, yeah, and so we have events
Speaker 5: as well, and so some of our signature events are
Speaker 5: something like men on a Mission, Strategies of successful women.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 5: We have a tea party out at the gazebo where
Speaker 5: everyone dress up with pearls and hats and s if
Speaker 5: they tea.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 5: We would have an annual car show, the more Collectible
Speaker 5: Car Show, so we have a new java of friends
Speaker 5: that we never would have met before. That's car enthusiasts, right,
Speaker 5: and I mean we're talking about over one hundred classic
Speaker 5: collectible cars that come in to our place. So when
Speaker 5: people come, what they can expect to learn, not only that,
Speaker 5: more importantly is that our visitors they will always leave
Speaker 5: with more knowledge, more wisdom, and more things to think about.
Speaker 5: So when they walk in inside, they're coming in one way,
Speaker 5: but when they walk out outside, hopefully they're going to
Speaker 5: be able to impact mankind differently. Because it's something that
Speaker 5: was touched, salt or heard from all of their five senses, right.
Speaker 5: So yeah, when they visit the more Cultural Center, it's experience.
Speaker 6: Because it's perpetually Christmas here. It's perpetually Christmas here. That
Speaker 6: spirit still lives on and we refresh every year. You
Speaker 6: will get the same tree or the same design every year.
Speaker 6: So when you have a perpetual Christmas, you know how
Speaker 6: that spirit is infectious and contagious. That's exactly how it
Speaker 6: is when people walk onto this land. It is infectious
Speaker 6: and contagious. They feel the need to tell the story
Speaker 6: to someone or bring someone back. They feel the need
Speaker 6: to do something, They feel a call to action, and
Speaker 6: that is something that we once we tell them the
Speaker 6: story and we tell them all that about the moors,
Speaker 6: that is something that we get from everybody.
Speaker 5: What can we do to help? What can we do?
Speaker 5: How can we support you? What can we.
Speaker 6: Do to make sure that this doesn't get lost again?
Speaker 6: And that's something that people ask all the time, and
Speaker 6: that's our big thing is that we like you to
Speaker 6: talk to somebody about it, Come back and bring a friend,
Speaker 6: come to our events. You can support us by giving
Speaker 6: a donation if you would like. We just want everyone
Speaker 6: to know this story. And if you tell a friend
Speaker 6: and they tell a friend, everybody will know.
Speaker 5: Yes, like six degrees between a so hey.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 2: So, with all of this beautiful energy and aloha and
Speaker 2: love that you've shared with us today about the Moors,
Speaker 2: about their story, and more importantly, about the more cultural center,
Speaker 2: if you could tell us, like, what can young minds
Speaker 2: today learn from the Moors and from learning about their history?
Speaker 5: That's a great question. Young minds today can learn what
Speaker 5: it means to be active American citizens, right, they can
Speaker 5: learn how to recognize injustice. They learn about the transformative
Speaker 5: role played by thousands of ordinary individuals, as well as
Speaker 5: the importance of organization for collective change. Right. So they're
Speaker 5: gonna learn what it means to be civically engaged. They're
Speaker 5: gonna learn what it means to be different right in
Speaker 5: all aspects of their life, and that it's okay and
Speaker 5: it's okay to be different, it's okay to stand out,
Speaker 5: it's okay not to fit in. Right. The main aim
Speaker 5: of spreading a story and to teach everyone that everyone
Speaker 5: deserves equal rights, everyone deserves human rights, everyone deserves to
Speaker 5: understand that history is taught and shit so that it
Speaker 5: can never be repeated again. That's the takeaway. That's what
Speaker 5: it means about sharing this story and preserving this history.
Speaker 6: And I always say that what they take away is
Speaker 6: that this is American history. This is not black history,
Speaker 6: this is not white history. This is American history. And
Speaker 6: it took everything that we went through in this country
Speaker 6: to get us to where we are today. And we
Speaker 6: have to appreciate every aspect, all our pits, all our valleys,
Speaker 6: all our peaks and climaxes in order for us to
Speaker 6: appreciate what we have today. And although we are not
Speaker 6: where we want to be, we are far from where
Speaker 6: we were. And so we need to make sure that
Speaker 6: we keep living this history and learning it so that
Speaker 6: we won't repeat it. But more importantly, so that everybody
Speaker 6: feels that they are part of this fabric of America,
Speaker 6: that nobody feels like that they were left out. Everybody
Speaker 6: had a part in America, and so we need to
Speaker 6: really appreciate everybody's contribution and stop making it that it's
Speaker 6: one race or one ethnicity when it's multi that made
Speaker 6: us and that's what's going to go forward and make
Speaker 6: us even greater. And so we need to just think
Speaker 6: about making sure we preserve American history and this is
Speaker 6: all part of it.
Speaker 3: Thank you, lady, lady, Thank you, pure pure magic.
Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 3: This week's message of hope and healing begins with an
Speaker 3: excerpt from a poem Langston Hughes wrote. When Harry and
Speaker 3: Harriet Moore were murdered. This is from the ballot of
Speaker 3: Harry T.
Speaker 1: Moore.
Speaker 3: Florida means land of flowers. It was on a Christmas
Speaker 3: night in the state names for flowers. Men came bearing dynamite.
Speaker 3: It could not be in Jesus' name. Beneath the bedroom
Speaker 3: floor on Christmas night, the killers hid the bomb for
Speaker 3: Harry Moore. When will men, for sake of peace and
Speaker 3: for democracy learn no bombs a man can make keep
Speaker 3: men from being free? As this, he says, are Harry Moore.
Speaker 3: As from the grave, he cries, no bomb can kill
Speaker 3: the dreams I hold for freedom never dies. To Harry
Speaker 3: and Harriet Moore. Onward and upward, Emua, emua. Well, that
Speaker 3: is our show for today. As always, we'd love to
