UPCOMING NALFL SOCIAL ACTIVITY

May 21, 2024

NASA Alumni have been invited to visit the Harry T. & Harriette V. Moore Memorial Park on May 21, 2024 (10 – 11:30 a.m.).  The park is located at 2180 Freedom Ave., Mims, Florida.

Highlights of the visit will be a historical presentation and tour of a replica of the Moore’s home which now stands in place on the very site of the original home.

The Moores played a significant role in history as the first true civil rights activists of the modern civil rights era in the State of Florida during the 1930’s and 40’s.  On Christmas Night 1951, a bomb exploded under the bedroom of Harry T. and Harriette V. Moore’s home in Mims.  The couple had gone to bed after celebrating both Christmas and their 25th wedding anniversary.  Mr. Moore was killed in the blast; Mrs. Moore died nine days later.

The tragic plight of Harry T. Moore and Harriette V. Moore and their roles in drawing state and federal attention to injustices and inequalities will never be forgotten.  Please join us to learn more about this important Florida history.

Following the tour, those who wish to gather for lunch will meet at Dixie Crossroads, located at 1475 Garden Street, Titusville (12 – 1:30 p.m., self pay at the venue).
