The press will be provided with opportunities to interview Mr. Moore following the lecture. Date: Friday, May 13, 2011 Time: 11:30 a.m. Location: Rockford Public Library, Auditorium Main Branch, 215 N. Wyman Street ROCKFORD , April 15, 2011—Although he was well-known in history as a former slave, an outspoken slavery abolitionist, and women’s rights supporter, Frederick Douglass also was the first African-American Presidential Appointed U. S. Marshal. This little-known history fact and more will be presented in a community lecture by retired U. S. Marshal Robert Moore in the Main Branch of the Rockford Public Library, Auditorium on Friday, May 13, 2011. Moore, also a former Winnebago County Deputy Sheriff, will sign copies of his new book, entitled “The Presidents Men: Black United States Marshals,” at BORDERS, 199 Deane Drive, 6:00 PM. After serving six law enforcement agencies during his thirty-five year law enforcement career, Moore was appointed U. S. Marshal for the Central District of Illinois by President William Jefferson Clinton on October 17, 1994, 117 years after Douglass’s appointment. In addition to his research and consulting work, Moore has created a traveling police exhibit to honor his colleagues and to educate the public about the contribution of Black U.S. Marshals, which debuted in Rockford in 2006. The discovery that Black Marshals’ contributions were left out of history books prompted Moore to tell their story by publishing the complete history of the nation’s oldest law enforcement agency, and the nine Presidents who appointed them (five Republicans and four Democrats). Moore’s book can be purchased at BORDERS, ordered from Black Marshals Publishing, 3709 Kingsley Drive Springfield, Illinois, or purchased online at www.blackpoliceresource.com. This event, presented in partnership with BORDERS, is one of several planned by CHIGOZIE’S Literacy Café and Bookstore.
