America's First Civil Rights Martyr: Harry T. Moore
Before civil rights marches and bus boycotts, Harry T. Moore worked in Jim Crow Florida to organize the NAACP and the Progressive Voters League. In 1951, in Mims, Florida, a bomb placed under his bed ended Moore's life. Meet this early pioneer of the Civil Rights Movement (as portrayed by Bob Devin Jones) on Christmas Eve 1951—the night before his tragic death. Bob Devin Jones is a writer, director and performer. He trained at the American Conservatory Theatre of San Francisco and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art of London, and is a graduate of Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles. He resides in St. Petersburg, Florida, where he is artistic director of The Studio @ 620.
