Harry T. Moore
Harry Tyson Moore (November 18, 1905 – December 25, 1951) was an African-American educator, a pioneer leader of the civil rights movement, founder of the first branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in Brevard County, Florida, and president of the state chapter of the NAACP. Harry T. Moore and his wife, Harriette Moore, also an educator, were the victims of a bombing of their home in Mims, Florida on Christmas night 1951. As the local hospital in Titusville would not treat Blacks, he died on the way to the nearest one that would, Fernald-Laughton hospital in Sanford, Florida, about 30 miles to the northwest.
