In addition to this video interview, David Moore participated in a telephone oral history in 2021. In both of his Museum oral histories, David discusses his late father, Dean Moore (January 28, 1929 - July 29, 2008). A native of Brownwood, Texas, Dean Moore served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. In addition to his political and civil rights activism, he was the first personnel director at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. -- Stephen Fagin, Curator
