Amzie Moore (1911-1982), a local Civil Rights leader, built this house
in 1941. An army veteran, Moore also worked for the U.S. Postal
Service. After returning from WWII, Moore dedicated himself to the

Leadership. His home served as a meeting place for many in the civil
rights movement, including Bob Moses, Sam Block, Aaron Henry,
Medgar Evers, Martin Luther King, Jr., Andrew Young, John Lewis
and Thurgood Marshall.
