The Taylor House Museum will be hosting an exhibit to commemorate the life of America’s first civil right martyr, Harry T. Moore. Moore was killed instantly on Christmas Eve, 1951, when a bomb planted by members of the Ku Klux Klan, exploded under his Mims, Florida home. His wife Harriette died nine days later. December 24 will mark the 60th anniversary of Moore’s death. MUSEUM IS OPEN THREE DAYS PER WEEK ON TUESDAY, THURSDAY AND SATURDAY.
