When we think about reparations for African Americans for the generations of enslavement, socio-economic and political apartheid, and oppression, many people don't know that for decades, the prime supporter of the idea of reparations was Audley "Queen Mother" Moore. Queen Mother Moore was an activist who carried the torch for reparations and human rights and was the most prominent force in the movement until the time of her transition on May 2, 1997.
Audley Moore was born on July 27, 1998, in New Iberia, Louisiana. Her parents died when she was in elementary school, and she dropped out of school to help support her two younger siblings as a hairdresser. She moved to New Orleans to find work and experienced the deep-seated racism and oppression of that era. While living in New Orleans, she was exposed to the idea of reparations or compensation for enslaved persons from Callie House, who was an activist, organizer, and founder of the National Ex-Slave Mutual Relief, Bounty and Pension Association, which called for a pension for living African-Americans who had been enslaved.
