A thoughtful and insightful reflection on his father, Amzie Moore, Sr., by his son, Amzie Moore. What a special treasure to learn more about your father through the stories from friends and family who knew him best. ❤

Random Thoughts: Feb 1. It means a lot. It is the day my father made his transition and joined his ancestors in 1982. Almost 11 years old when it happened, but I can remember the shock of it like it was yesterday. Some years it is rough. But this year it feels good to reflect on my father and his work. He must be in heaven smiling. Also, Feb 1. The beginning of Black History Month. Big salute to Dr. Carter Godwin Woodson for creating Negro History week in 1926, making it a time to acknowledge the historical contributions of our ancestors. That is it.
