Christopher Paul Moore could speak authoritatively on a wide spectrum of African American history and culture, and if you were lucky enough to pull him from his many activities at the Schomburg Center you had an incomparable resource at your beck and call.
I consider myself one of the fortunate to receive his guidance and expertise in the completion of several books and a number of articles. My last contact with him was several years ago and we had planned to work on a project together. If that objective is to be completed it will be missing Chris’s ongoing living counsel since he died on March 13 in Brooklyn, according to his wife Kim Yancey Moore, from complications of COVID and pneumonia. He was 70.
When I commended Chris on the publication he demurred, explaining it was a team effort that included the recommendations from a countless number of people who responded to a questionnaire. Even so, that list had to be parsed and pared down, and that’s where I believe Chris was an essential member. His skillful editorial insight was certainly at play in his book “Fighting for America: Black Soldiers—The Unsung Heroes of World War II” .
