Episode Description
In this episode I spoke with Ben Green about Harry T. Moore. Green is the author of the biography of Moore titled Before His Time: The Untold Story of Harry T. Moore America's First Civil Rights Martyr. During Moore’s time the state of Florida did not have teacher unions, more professional organizations but under his leadership the professional organizations operated as a union by suing the state of Florida to equalize pay between White and Black teachers and administrators. The school system that canceled the workshop on Florida and the civil rights movement was Osceola County not Miami-Dade.
