The Marshall L. Davis African Heritage Cultural Arts Center, along with the Miami Herald and local schools, hosted an event commemorating Black History Month, focusing on Harry T. Moore and Harriette Moore. Over 120 students attended to learn about the Moores' tragic deaths due to KKK violence. A discussion, led by activist Marvin Dunn, illuminated their civil rights activism against the backdrop of contemporary efforts to restrict Black history education. Nakia Bowling's after-school program aims to enrich students with crucial Black literature and history, underscoring the continued need for awareness and activism in education.
Activist Marvin Dunn led a discussion on Harry T. Moore and his wife, Harriette, highlighting their roles in civil rights and the dangers they faced in 1951.
The significance of teaching the Moores' story is amplified by contemporary efforts to restrict how Black history is incorporated into education.
Nakia Bowling champions the importance of Black history education through his after-school program, using literature from renowned authors for deeper understanding.
The event underscores a broader cultural necessity; as society faces challenges in recognizing Black history, education and activism remain crucial for future generations.
