There is no easy way To give
meaning 10 Moore's death One
obvious way is for the Justice De-
partment TO act. and the action Is
long overdue. on the whole series
of outrages in Florida. Just as
important Is the need for anger
by all Americans. TO shame the
fathers and sons alike.
The Jews need little prompting
on this score. for the recent dynA-
mitings In Florida have been
directed as much against them as
against the Negroes. But the
whole Of America must learn that
freedom depends on keeping an
unbroken web OF human conn"C.

so many public figures have
spoken out against the outrage to

The mans name was Harry T
Moore, He headed up the NAACP
activities in Florida. He was kill
ed for only one reason. He was a
black man. and he had dared to
fight for his right TO live in
America even m FIorida-as
other Americans live.
We are q people slow To
anger, but passionate In our
wrath.
The government of Hungary
has found this out in the case of
the fliers held for ransom. When
will the people of America turn
their gaze homeward to acts even
more inhuman than the imprison-
ment of the airmen? And when
will a wave of wrath sweep away
the puny hate movement that now
seem to infest Florida as they in
fest other states?
Does anyone care 60 rise and
say that this was a casual or an
isolated killing?
Moore was active in the Ma
ACP defense of the Negro boys
accused in the GroveIand Little
Scottsboro' case in Florida He
organized state efforts to help the
Negroes in the South TO vote with
out being terrorized, to send their
children TO the same schools as
white children, to be convicted OF
the same guilt and acquitted Of
the same innocence as the whites
There have been three murders
now as a result Of the Groveland
case. One boy was killed on the
spot by n mob. A second was shot
by a deputy sheriff Now Moore
is the third victim.
How much longer vii we wait

Of violence here. Three times on
