Moore</b> (July 23, 1928 – August 22, 2019) was a <a href="/wiki/Methodism" title="Methodism">Methodist</a> <a href="/wiki/Minister_(Christianity)" title="Minister (Christianity)">minister</a> who organized the 1957 <a href="/wiki/Royal_Ice_Cream_Sit-in" class="mw-redirect" title="Royal Ice Cream Sit-in">Royal Ice Cream Sit-in</a> in <a href="/wiki/Durham,_North_Carolina" title="Durham, North Carolina">Durham, North Carolina</a>. Moore entered the <a href="/wiki/Christian_ministry" title="Christian ministry">ministry</a> at a young age. After finding himself dissatisfied with what he perceived as a lack of action among his divinity peers, he decided to take a more activist course. Shortly after becoming a <a href="/wiki/Pastor" title="Pastor">pastor</a> in Durham, Moore decided to challenge the city's power structure via the Royal Ice Cream Sit-in, a protest in which he and several others sat down in the white section of an <a href="/wiki/Ice_cream_parlor" title="Ice cream parlor">ice cream parlor</a> and asked to be served. The sit-in failed to challenge <a href="/wiki/Racial_segregation_in_the_United_States" title="Racial segregation in the United States">segregation</a> in the short run, and Moore's actions provoked a myriad of negative reactions from many white and African-American leaders, who considered his efforts far too radical. Nevertheless, Moore continued to press forward with his <a href="/wiki/Political_agenda" title="Political agenda">agenda</a> of activism. </p><p>Ultimately, however, Moore's plan of using the sit-in to challenge Durham's <a href="/wiki/Local_government" title="Local government">power structure</a> proved successful. A new wave of young <a href="/wiki/African_American" class="mw-redirect" title="African American">African-American</a> students, inspired by the actions of the Royal Ice Cream protestors, adopted Moore's agenda, helping to bring about the desegregation of the city's public facilities. His actions also had effects that stretched far beyond the boundaries of Durham. Working with activist leaders he had once spurned, including <a href="/wiki/Martin_Luther_King_Jr." title="Martin Luther King Jr.">Martin Luther King Jr.</a>, and inspired by the actions of students in places such as <a href="/wiki/Greensboro,_North_Carolina" title="Greensboro, North Carolina">Greensboro, North Carolina</a>, Moore was able to organize additional sit-ins during the <a href="/wiki/Sit-in_movement" title="Sit-in movement">sit-in movement</a> that spread all across the South. His work with the sit-in helped to spur the creation of “local movement centers”, which facilitated the collective actions of African-Americans seeking to bring about an end to segregation throughout North Carolina and the region in years to come.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In addition, Moore's idea of a group that used the power of nonviolence, using <a href="/wiki/Christianity" title="Christianity">Christianity</a> as an ideological base, ultimately became the symbol of a new era of <a href="/wiki/Activism" title="Activism">activism</a> and <a href="/wiki/Civil_and_political_rights" title="Civil and political rights">civil rights</a> in the <a href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States">United States</a>. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Early_life_and_education">Early life and education</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Douglas_E._Moore&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Early life and education"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Douglas Elaine Moore was born in 1928 in <a href="/wiki/Hickory,_North_Carolina" title="Hickory, North Carolina">Hickory, North Carolina</a>. At an early age, he decided to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather and enter the Methodist ministry. Shortly after earning a <a href="/wiki/Bachelor_of_Arts" title="Bachelor of Arts">Bachelor of Arts</a> from <a href="/wiki/North_Carolina_Central_University" title="North Carolina Central University">North Carolina College</a> in 1949, Moore enrolled at <a href="/wiki/Boston_University" title="Boston University">Boston University</a> as a divinity student in 1951. His political leanings were evident early on, as he joined a <a href="/wiki/Far-left_politics" title="Far-left politics">radical leftist</a> group on campus and participated in protests of <a href="/wiki/Social_issue" title="Social issue">social ills</a>. Moore also temporarily joined a <a href="/wiki/Student_group" class="mw-redirect" title="Student group">student group</a> called the Dialectical Society, which met every week for dinner and a discussion.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, he found the talks largely dissatisfying, viewing them as far too passive and abstract. In addition, he was not too fond of the leader of the Dialectical Society, the then-unknown <a href="/wiki/Martin_Luther_King_Jr." title="Martin Luther King Jr.">Martin Luther King Jr.</a> Referring to him as “just another <a href="/wiki/Baptists" title="Baptists">Baptist</a> preacher”, Moore invited King to join his student group.<sup id="cite_ref-Davidson_2007_p88_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Davidson_2007_p88-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, King declined to do so, likely put off by its radicalness and activist agenda. Moore soon parted ways with the Dialectical Society. He earned his <a href="/wiki/Bachelor_of_Sacred_Theology" class="mw-redirect" title="Bachelor of Sacred Theology">Bachelor of Sacred Theology</a> in 1953 and his <a href="/wiki/Master_of_Sacred_Theology" title="Master of Sacred Theology">Master of Sacred Theology</a> in 1958.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Move_to_Durham">Move to Durham</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Douglas_E._Moore&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Move to Durham"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>After graduating, Moore moved back to the <a href="/wiki/Southern_United_States" title="Southern United States">American South</a>. He served as the minister for two small-town <a href="/wiki/Methodism" title="Methodism">Methodist</a> churches before becoming the pastor of Durham's <a href="/wiki/Greater_Bethlehem_Temple_Apostolic_Faith_Church" title="Greater Bethlehem Temple Apostolic Faith Church">Asbury Temple Methodist Church</a> in 1956. Soon after arriving in the city, Moore began to look for ways to challenge its power structure. Despite the fact that Durham was known for having better-than-average race relations for the region, Moore quickly concluded that it was the “same as any other place: They [the whites] wouldn't give up nothing”.<sup id="cite_ref-Davidson_2007_p88_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Davidson_2007_p88-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He made several attempts to <a href="/wiki/Desegregation_in_the_United_States" title="Desegregation in the United States">desegregate</a> the city's <a href="/wiki/Public_service" title="Public service">public facilities</a>. After his family was denied admission to the then all-white Long Meadow Park <a href="/wiki/Swimming_pool" title="Swimming pool">swimming pool</a> in 1957, Moore appealed to Durham recreation officers, to no avail. Other efforts included petitions to the city council to end segregation at the <a href="/wiki/Carolina_Theatre_(Durham)" title="Carolina Theatre (Durham)">Carolina Theatre</a> and the Durham <a href="/wiki/Public_library" title="Public library">Public Library</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> While these also resulted in little to no changes, Moore would make headlines later that year via what came to be known as the Royal Ice Cream Sit-in. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Royal_Ice_Cream_Sit-in">Royal Ice Cream Sit-in</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Douglas_E._Moore&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Royal Ice Cream Sit-in"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>On June 23, 1957, the 28-year-old Moore led three African-American men and three African-American women into the <a href="/wiki/Racial_segregation_in_the_United_States" title="Racial segregation in the United States">segregated</a> Royal Ice Cream Parlor. They all sat down in the white section and asked to be served.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Moore later told a reporter, “We just decided we wanted to cool off, to get some <a href="/wiki/Ice_cream" title="Ice cream">ice cream</a> or <a href="/wiki/Milkshake" title="Milkshake">milk shakes</a>.”<sup id="cite_ref-Davidson_2007_p88_4-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Davidson_2007_p88-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The truth, however, was much more far-reaching than that. Moore later said that the parlor was chosen in advance because of its location in a predominantly-African-American neighborhood.

Previously, it had relied on backroom talks with the white <a href="/wiki/Elite" title="Elite">elite</a> to bring about concessions in a deliberate manner. Moore's actions came as a surprise to many and threatened to upset the delicate balance that existed in Durham, resulting in a <a href="/wiki/Backlash_(sociology)" title="Backlash (sociology)">backlash</a> against the protestors from the city's African-American community. The vitriol shocked the sit-in participants, as they had only expected hostile reactions from Durham's white citizens.

The Durham Committee on Negro Affairs' Economic Committee, headed by McKissick, debated whether or not to <a href="/wiki/Boycott" title="Boycott">boycott</a> Royal Ice Cream Parlor. As Moore himself later revealed, there was doubt as to whether or not this would be a good idea, due to the fact that the parlor's owner, Louis Coletta, was a <a href="/wiki/Greek_American" class="mw-redirect" title="Greek American">Greek American</a> and a <a href="/wiki/Minority_group" title="Minority group">minority</a> himself.<sup id="cite_ref-Greene_2005_p67_14-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Greene_2005_p67-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Nevertheless, the mere presence of such a discussion symbolized the growing activist movement in Durham, which was fueled primarily by the city's young African-Americans.

For instance, a group of young girls held regular <a href="/wiki/Picketing_(protest)" class="mw-redirect" title="Picketing (protest)">pickets</a> outside of the parlor under the direction of McKissick, despite being members of the Durham <a href="/wiki/National_Association_for_the_Advancement_of_Colored_People" class="mw-redirect" title="National Association for the Advancement of Colored People">NAACP</a>, which had refused to publicly support Moore.<sup id="cite_ref-Greene_2005_p69_16-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Greene_2005_p69-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Durham movement eventually began to pick up steam, leading to a rapid series of <a href="/wiki/Reform" title="Reform">reforms</a> in the coming years.

At the time, Moore and McKissick had been organizing a nationwide sit-in that would begin in Durham.

Exactly one week after the Greensboro sit-in, Moore and McKissick led one of their own. They led dozens of college students into the heart of Durham, where they sat down at the lunch counters of Woolworth's. When the manager closed the counter, the students moved on the counters at <a href="/wiki/S._H._Kress_%26_Co." title="S. H. Kress & Co.">S.H.

In it, he detailed his own experiences with the desegregation of buses in <a href="/wiki/North_Carolina" title="North Carolina">North Carolina</a> and <a href="/wiki/Virginia" title="Virginia">Virginia</a>, noting that by relying “completely upon the force of <a href="/wiki/Christian_theology_of_love" class="mw-redirect" title="Christian theology of love">love</a> and Christian witness”, he was able to achieve his goals. Moore went on to suggest “a regional group which uses the power of <a href="/wiki/Nonviolence" title="Nonviolence">nonviolence</a>”, hinting that such a group, were it well-disciplined, could “break the backbone of segregated travel in North Carolina in less than a year”. King, however, continued to display reluctance to partake in Moore's radical agenda. In the end, Moore received only a polite thank-you note from King's secretary. However, he continued to let his faith play a role in his actions.<sup id="cite_ref-21" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Moore led a group of young Durham activists called “ACT”, which met at church every Sunday to talk about how to test the limits of the South's <a href="/wiki/Jim_Crow_laws" title="Jim Crow laws">Jim Crow laws</a>. When the student activism movement began to take flight in Durham, it was backed by the city's African-American churches, especially the female members of the <a href="/wiki/Congregational_church" class="mw-redirect" title="Congregational church">congregations</a>. Moore also became a board member of King's <a href="/wiki/Southern_Christian_Leadership_Conference" title="Southern Christian Leadership Conference">Southern Christian Leadership Conference</a>. With his new-found power, he was able to find new ways to get his message of a <a href="/wiki/Nonviolence" title="Nonviolence">nonviolent</a> regional group across the South.

A week after the Durham sit-ins, he received an invitation from Moore to come to the city, which he accepted. The two visited the lunch counters that had been open just a few days earlier and spoke at White Rock <a href="/wiki/Baptists" title="Baptists">Baptist</a> Church. King gave the sit-in movement his blessing, saying that the student activists had made the sit-in action itself “a creative protest that is destined to be one of the glowing epics of our time”.<sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> With the support of King, the movement continued to grow. </p><p>Moore enlisted the help of other regional leaders such as <a href="/wiki/James_Lawson_(American_activist)" class="mw-redirect" title="James Lawson (American activist)">James M.

Lawson, like Moore, taught college students at his church in <a href="/wiki/Nashville,_Tennessee" title="Nashville, Tennessee">Nashville</a> how to resist violence and employ the power of love to fight against segregation. Right after the Greensboro sit-ins, Moore urged Lawson to take action and organize a sit-in at his local Woolworth's, which he did. Activists around the South were soon making similar moves, thanks to <a href="/wiki/Social_network" title="Social network">networks</a> set up by Moore and his allies, whose work also helped to popularize what became known as “local movement centers”.
