As such I have become increasingly knowledgeable about the life of Moton, often called Major, and would offer one suggestion to the attached bio. In 1922, Moton was the keynote speaker for the dedication ceremony of the Lincoln Memorial. This event is a story in itself with Moton's speech censored by the president and blacks sitting in the back in a segregated section for the memorial ceremony.
