Charles Eddie Moore and Henry Hezekiah Dee are among the 40 martyrs on the Civil Rights Memorial in Montgomery, Ala.
Charles Eddie Moore and Henry Hezekiah Dee disappeared from Franklin County, Miss., in 1964. This month, 43 years later, an ex-Klansman was convicted of kidnapping and conspiracy in the deaths of the two 19-year-olds.
Southern Poverty Law Center president Richard Cohen recently testified in Washington D.C. in support of the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act to enhance the ability of the Department of Justice to investigate and prosecute civil rights-era slayings. The bill passed the House and is expected to pass the Senate soon.
