This book is a biography of Civil Rights Activist, educator, and legendary tennis coach Dr. Emily Moore of Freeport, Long Island, New York and the journey she had encountered over the last 60 years as a civil right activist and an education advocate for the black youth of Long Island. The biography details Dr. Moore's ancestry, and her upbringing as a black child and student in in Long Island, New York whereas unlike New York City and the five boroughs, the notion of segregation and/or racial inclusion was still practiced. As a Civil Rights Activist, since a young age Dr. Moore has been active since the Wool Worth Five and Dime Diner demonstrations of the 1950s, but it was her time at Morgan State College (University) in Baltimore and the Northwood Demonstrations of 1963 that brought her to the front lines and mass incarcerations in the name of desegregation. Since then, from Continent of Africa to the country of The United States America, Dr. Moore focused her greater efforts as an educator to bring greater opportunities if higher education to black and minority children. Through her life, civil rights activities and the staunch advocation of black youth has brought her to many moments of turmoil throughout her educative career since 1968. During her most active times, she was able to meet various leaders such as Malcolm X, Kwame Tume and Dorthy Height. Dr. Emily Moore is a local and national treasure, who is well respected, adored, remembered and loved by tons of people for her unrelentless pursuit of teaching what it takes to gain and become self-confident, self- determined and self -disciplined through the teaching of sports. In result, Dr. Moore has been able to send hundreds of youths to college through sports and academic scholarship through her non-profit sports program Alliance Junior Tennis Development Program that she started in 1968 (officiated in 1975).
