Wrist watch worn by Harriette Moore, early to mid 20th century. Creator: Unknown

Harriette Moore (1902-1952) was an African-American teacher and civil rights activist. Her husband Harry T. Moore founded the first branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NaCP) in Brevard County, Florida. They were both murdered by a bomb under their house - the first assassination to happen during the Civil Rights Movement and the only time both a husband and a wife were killed for their activism. The case was never solved and no one was ever prosecuted. The watch has a gold-colored face with black hour and minute hands and black numerals, some of which are partially worn away. Under the numeral six is the word " Swiss." The watch is housed in an eight sided watch case, also of a gold colored metal. Both the face and the case have swirling floral designs engraved on them. The two lugs on either side that attach the strap to the case are made of a dark brassy colored metal. They attach to two silver colored rings that make up the ends of the watch band. The band itself is a silver colored metal and has no clasp as it is a stretch band. It is possibly not contemporary to the watch itself. The back of the watch case has a decorative floral band around the edge. The center is plain, with numerous scratches. The crystal (glass) is missing
