History


Harry T. Moore, a civil rights leader, teacher and founder of the Brevard County NAACP, was murdered in Mims with his wife, Harriette; they were fatally injured by a bomb exploding under their home on Christmas Eve, 1951. Moore died the next day; his wife died on January 3, 1952. The murder was racially motivated and believed to have been committed by members of the Ku Klux Klan. The FBI investigated the case in 1951-1952, and the county and state in the 1970s and 1990s. The state reinvestigated in 2005, after suspected perpetrators had died. No one was ever prosecuted.[9][10]

Multiple sites in Mims and Brevard County are dedicated to the Moores including the Moore Memorial Park and Cultural Center in Mims.
