POD DISCLAIMER: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS DISCUSSION OF POLITICAL THEMES AND MAY INCLUDE THE PERSONAL OPINIONS OF THE HOSTS AND GUEST. PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS BEFORE PROCEEDING. 

Harry Tyson and Harriette V. Moore were trailblazers in the civil rights movement in Florida. They strove to make equal access at the polls for blacks a reality, despite the struggles they faced early on. Harry was the state president of the NAACP, and eventually would form the Progressive Voters League with a friend. Together, with Harriette's help, they were able to register over 100,000 blacks to the Democratic Party of Florida.

On this episode of From The Vault, we conclude the conversation on Harry and Harriette Moore with special guest Bill Gary of the Harry and Harriette Moore Cultural Center as we discuss the bombing of the Moore home in Mims, Florida. Additionally, a deep dive into the investigation into the persons of interest in the case and the aftermath of the most recent investigation. We also discuss ways we can better honor Harry and Harriette Moore in a deep discussion towards the end.
