Award-winning documentary explores story of first assassinated civil rights leader

‘Freedom Never Dies: The Legacy of Harry T. Moore’ to air on WFY1 Jan. 12 So it was that Harry hipore (So deeply did he care) Sought the right for men to live With their heads up everywhere Because of that, white killers, Who like Negroes “in their place, ” Came stealing through the orange groves - On that night of dark disgrace. — From “The Ballad of Harry Moore,” by Langston Hughes Combining murder mystery, incisive biography, and an eye-opening portrait of Jim Crow Florida, “Freedom Never Dies” sheds new light on one of America’s earliest and most fearless fighters for civil rights. In 1951, after celebrating Christmas Day, civil rights activist Harry T. Moore and his wife Harriette retired to bed in their white frame house tucked inside a small orange grove in Mims, Fla. Ten minutes later, a bomb shattered their house and their lives. Also shattered was any hope that the South was ready to give up centuries of white supremacy for a new era of racial equality without a bloody fight. “Freedom Never Dies: The Legacy of Harry T. Moore” explores the life and times of this enigmatic leader, a distinguished school teacher whose passionate crusade for equal rights could not be discouraged by either the white power structure or the more cautious factions of his own movement. Although Moore’s assassination was an international cause celebre in 1951, it was, overshadowed by following events and eventually, almost forgotten. “Freedom Never Dies: The Legacy of Harry T. Moore,” produced by Sandra Dickson and Churchill Roberts, restores Moore to his rightful place in the civil rights saga. ■ • 'The^ft-JMinute special will air nationwide on Friday, Jan. 12 at 9
