Around 150 persons met on a recent Saturday in April to celebrate the 20 year development of the Harry T. Harriette V. Moore Cultural Center in Mims, Florida. Set in the heart of Florida’s orange grove region, the commemoration celebrated the lives of Harry T. and Henietta Moore. Their Mims, Fla home was dynamited Christmas night 1951, ending their careers as educators and fearless freedom fighters in the Civil Rights Movement. The Ku Klux Klan blast that killed them brought international attention to their Florida freedom struggles. The Ballad of Harry Moore was written by poet Langston Hughes, and sung by Sweet Honey and the Rock.

After eliminating the state rival Tampa Bay Lightning, the Panthers rested and waited patiently on the winner between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Boston Bruins, a series that at one point had the Bruins leading 3-1. However, the Maple Leafs fought back, winning the next 2 games before finally succumbing to the Bruins in Boston in a highly competitive series. Ironically, the Bruins were attempting to avoid repeating last year’s devastating result where, after leading the Panthers 3 – 1, the Bruins allowed the Panthers to win 3 in a row, thus eliminating them from the playoffs. After defeating Toronto, the Bruins traveled to sunny South Florida to play a well rested Panther team in the second round. The Panthers, perhaps too rested and rusty, were lambasted by the Bruins 5-1 on Monday night at Amerant Bank Arena. Let’s hope that game one was an anomaly, not a harbinger of things to come. Go Panthers!
