The Bomb Heard Around The World

There were no foreign attacks on American soil. Yet there were twelve bombings targeting black Americans in the “Jim Crow” South that year. But the final bomb was set off that year in a small town in Florida. And it was heard around the world.

IN ‘1951 AMERICA’ TERRORISM WAS HOMEGROWN.

Harry Moore and his wife, Harriette, were murdered on Christmas night, sixty-six years ago at the hands of racist terrorists. Harry knew he was a target for racist groups like the KKK but he swore he would keep going even if they killed him. The Moore’s courage was unmatche

This was, indeed, “THE BOMB HEARD AROUND THE WORLD”.

There were no foreign attacks on American soil. Yet there were twelve bombings targeting black Americans in the “Jim Crow” South that year. But the final bomb was set off that year in a small town in Florida. And it was heard around the world. Harry Moore and his wife, Harriette, were murdered on Christmas night, sixty-six years ago at the hands of racist terrorists. Harry knew he was a target for racist groups like the KKK but he swore he would keep going even if they killed him. The Moore’s courage was unmatched. World War ll had just ended but that was in Europe and Asia. Americans had never experienced the shock and tragedy of war on ‘home soil’. Americans, for a very long time, paid little attention to the persecution of blacks, despite the multitude of violent, racist episodes; not dissimilar from events in Nazi Germany. And while this is the story of Harry and Harriette Moore — it is also a story for today. With many questionable killings of blacks in America today, the racial divide has widened exponentially. Racial injustices of yesteryear relate directly to today’s current events. White supremacists marching openly in public signifies that extreme racism has returned in force, for the time being. Recent travel bans are in the process of rejecting immigrants and the current administration’s bullying of minorities signifies a segment of America is devolving. The current right-wing government has created a toxic environment where an inordinate number of American citizens seem to support returning to a darker time in American history where being white was embraced with enthusiasm whilst foreigners and peoples of color were treated as second-class citizens.

THE MOORES

Harry & Harriette

“Every advancement comes by way of sacrifice, ” He told his mother before going to bed that night. The spark that ignited the American Civil Rights Movement.

THE HISTORY

So it begins

America’s first Civil Rights martyr. This is the shocking story of generations of racism, murders, judicial malfeasance, police corruption, dirty politics, and controversial crime investigations.

THE INTRO

By Charlie Crist

Ironically, 53 years after the assassinations of Harry and Harriette Moore, a Republican Attorney General named Charlie Crist, would take on this criminal case in an attempt to solve the Moore assassinations.

This was a shocking crime that reverberated throughout America and around the world, back in 1951. It should reverberate again, today, once people learn of it. This book and the events it exposes are revelations.

Reading this book shocked me to my core. America is the land of the free? Time to take a hard look at ourselves. An amazing piece of writing about an outrageous event in history that mirrors life today in America.

This is electrifying. A racially-charged crime exploded in America that few people were aware of and those that did know did not have the wherewithal or the courage to face it. This is profoundly important.
