Conflicting vision, 2008: p. 1-2 (Although Moore's work up until the late 1940s had been successful and he shared a close friendship with Ella Baker, who served as NAACP Director of Branches in the mid-1940s, his relationship with the national office soured following her departure. Toward the end of the decade, as both national and statewide membership declined, Moore he became the target for harsh criticism from the NAACP national office, which eventually resulted in his termination shortly before his death in 1951)

Pbs.org, April 18, 2013 (Harry T. Moore was born on November 18, 1905, in Houston (Hous-ton), Florida, a tiny farming community in Suwanee County, in the Florida Panhandle. In May 1925, at age 19, he graduated from Florida Memorial College with a "normal degree" and accepted a teaching job in Cocoa, Florida. He spent the next two years teaching fourth grade at Cocoa's only black elementary school. During his first year in Brevard County, he met an attractive older woman (she was 23, while he was barely 20), named Harriette Vyda Simms. She had taught school herself, but was currently selling insurance for the Atlanta Life Insurance Company. Within a year they were married. In 1934, Harry Moore started the Brevard County NAACP. In June 1946, Moore paid a terrible price for his political activism, as he and Harriette were both fired from their teaching jobs. Realizing that he would be blacklisted from teaching, Moore took a bold step: he became a full-time, paid organizer for the Florida NAACP) http://www.pbs.org/harrymoore/harry/mbio.html
