The James C. Clark Research Papers is a group of documents primarily focused on racism in the Central Florida, the death of Harry T. Moore, the activities of the Ku Klux Klan in Orange Country, and the political career of Claude Denson Pepper. The majority of the materials are focused on the death and subsequent murder investigation of Harry T. Moore, a civil rights activist in the Central Florida area and a part of the NAACP. Moore is believed to have been murdered by the Ku Klux Klan of Orange County in 1951. The other items in the collection relate to the political career of Claude Denson Pepper (1900-1989), a Florida legislator, U.S. Senator and Congressman.
