In 1963, everyone begged William Lewis Moore not to go to Mississippi. His family worried about where he would sleep eat. He reminded them that he had been a Marine that Marines could handle anything. He insisted on hand-delivering a letter to the governor, urging the staunch segregationist to change. But he never made it to Miss. He was shot to death April 23, 1963, after crossing into Alabama. Although police quickly identified a suspect, no one was ever charged.
