Such sad news. Reginald Moore, who worked tirelessly to make sure the horrors of the convict leasing program & the story of African Americans buried in unmarked graves were not forgotten, has died. We talked at length for this story. He won’t be forgotten.

Woke up thinking about Reginald Moore this morning. For the last two plus years, we’ve talked over the phone almost every week about the Sugar Land 95 African-American remains.
I first talked to him over the phone in April 2018 when @cindylgeorge passed along my number to him
