Det. William Springer's career in law enforcement goes back to 1969 in Centre County, Pennsylvania. From there, he migrated to Florida for better pay; only to be knocked down and making what he calls "starvation wages". From there, he picked himself up and started a career with PBSO that led him to become one of the county's--and state's--top homicide detectives. Today, he is on the cold case squad with a mission to solve every cold case there. And he has the weapon of modern technology to help him.

Together, with Harriette's help, they were able to register over 100,000 blacks to the Democratic Party of Florida.

Harry Tyson and Harriette V. Moore were trailblazers in the civil rights movement in Florida.

Harry was the state president of the NAACP, and eventually would form the Progressive Voters League with a friend. Together, with Harriette's help, they were able to register over 100,000 blacks to the Democratic Party of Florida. But it also came with dire consequences. Willie Howard's lynching in Suwannee County, the Groveland 4 case in Lake County, and the state and national attitude toward the civil rights movement was coming to a head. Harry would be involved in each aspect of this until the night of December 25th, 1951. This would be the night of the Moore's 25th wedding anniversary--and the night everything changed for their family.  We are honored to have Dr. Bill Gary, President of the Board of Directors for the Harry and Harriette Moore Cultural Center in Brevard County, Florida join us for this discussion on one of Florida's coldest cases.
