At the Moore Cultural Complex in Mims, FL with the Rev. Dr. Randolph Bracy, past president of the Orange County Branch (Orlando) NAACP and guest speaker for this year's Moore Heritage Festival Gala Awards Dinner.
The 8th Annual Moore Heritage Festival of the Arts and Humanities was another huge step in bringing to the world’s attention the unimaginable sacrifices of Harry T. and Harriette V. Moore. My deep appreciation to Board President William E. (Bill) Gary, to festival Co-Chairs Gloria Bartley and Melanie Hinkson, to Juanita Barton of the Brevard County Parks & Recreation Department, to Henry and Tracy Moore and to other dear friends for all their dedication and hard work. And always to Evangeline Moore for her grace and dignity, through which — like her parents’ lives — so many of us draw much inspiration. More scenes:

In case you don’t know the story of the Moores:

I am glad they are keeping their memory alive! I stopped throughout Mims years ago after reading the book. I was amazed that few people in the town knew where the memorial was. We should never forget their legacy.
WOULD LIKE TO VISIT EVENT.
