December 25 - December 25, 1951
Sanford, Florida
Harry and Harriette Moore had celebrated Christmas as well as their 25th anniversary that day...
They were laying in bed, when they heard an explosion...an explosion that would lead to Harry's demise en route to the hospital and Harriette, just three days later in the hospital...
They were the first martyrs of the Civil Rights Movement...
And their homicides are still unsolved
What do you think about this case? Do you think the KKK was responsible?
