Her values and experiences live on in her music. She was one of this country's most prominent composers and arrangers of choral works, many based on or inspired by Negro spirituals and folk songs. Her legacy is just as enduring in education. Moore joined the faculty of Virginia State College (now Virginia State University) in 1927; she retired in 1972 but continued teaching. Her students include some of the leading African American music educators of their generation: pianist and jazz master Billy Taylor, opera singer Camilla Williams, conductor Leon Thompson. Moore's vocal works are included in Watch and Pray, a collection on the Videmus label. The Black Composer Speaks edited by David N. Baker, Lida M. Belt and Herman C.

Full Story >> James Farmer James Farmer vividly recalls the moment that led him to the civil rights movement. He was a 3-year-old boy walking with his mom down a hot, dusty road in Holly Springs, Miss. As they approached a store, young James asked his mother to buy him a Coca-Cola. She told him that they couldn't buy a soft drink there.
