520 In 1951 American terrorism was homegrown. There were no
battles fought on American soil, yet there were 12
bombings targeting black Americans, Catholics, and Jews in
"Jim Crow" Florida. One of those bombs was, symbolically,
heard around the world. Harry T. Moore and his wife,
Harriette, were murdered on Christmas night 1951 by racist
terrorists. Ironically, Harry knew he was a target of the
KKK but swore he would keep going, working on rights for
African Americans. WWll had just ended and apart from
Pearl Harbor, Americans had never experienced the shock
and tragedy of war on 'home soil'. Americans, for a long
time, paid little attention to the persecution of blacks
and other minorities, despite the multitude of violent,
racist episodes, not dissimilar from events in Nazi
Germany. This book explores the events leading up to the
Moore assassinations and follows long after, with
extensive investigations by the FBI, Florida Department of
Law Enforcement, Brevard County Sheriff's Office, and the
Dept. of Justice. What they uncovered was remarkable, and
the corruption that accompanied the crime was shocking.
The Bomb Heard Around the World reveals new information
and facts which exposes both savage corruption and
exceptional courage over decades in America. The Moore
assassinations became an international referendum on
America and its values. At the end of WWII the world
turned to America as the beacon of freedom and liberty,
yet after the deaths of the Moore's, world opinion
shifted. This journey through their lives and deaths is a
road trip through the history of America and while this is
the story of the Moore's, it is also a story for today.
With many unjustified killings of blacks in America today,
the racial divide has widened. Decades after the
assassinations, a Republican Attorney General, Charlie
Crist, would take on this criminal case in an attempt to
solve the assassinations once and for all. He faced
enormous political pressures yet stayed the course.
