Abstract:

Moore’s Dinette in Creedmoor, NC remains closed despite James Moore’s acquittal in his case. Moore and his establishment were accused of disturbing the peace and being a public nuisance. Moore believes the charges brought against him were racially motivated and because he criticized the local police for their inaction. He is unsure whether he will reopen his business because his wife says that they feel as if they will be targeted.
