What inspires me most about this is his commitment to "walk-the-walk" in the work by going out of his way to help others around him. From the beginning of my career, Eddie took me under his wing and introduced me to key figures that he knew in our field.

He is a dynamic and knowledgeable speaker as well as a fierce community organizer and educator. The White Privilege Conference (WPC) that Eddie founded is truly the most progressive, anti-racist movements in the US and I am honored to work with him each year to present the WPC Nationally.”
Tarah Fleming
co-director at ipride
“I have worked with Eddie Moore for many years and I have never found anyone who can convey the message of tolerance and understanding in the way he does. Eddie is able to develop an awesome rapport with students/audiences of all ages. Eddie has successfully worked with students individually and in large group, in both settings they come away with a different perspective on culture and diversity issues than when they first arrived. Eddie is not afraid to challenge his students/audiences in their thinking and he does so in a positive way. I would strongly recommend America & Moore to any organization who is interested in improving relations and climate amongst their employers and stakeholders.”

I have learned so much working with him - not the least of which is the importance of building relationships as we grow in this social justice movement together. Building relationships is a critical component of what he stands for, and makes working with him an enlightening experience filled with deep commitment and mutual respect. I hope to continue working with him for years to come.”

Charles Z. Smith
Washington Supreme Court Justice (retired)
“I have the had the honor of getting to know and work with Dr. Moore since June 2008 in preparation for WPC 10, which was held in Memphis, TN, last April. I grew to admire his humble, yet assertive nature in the preparation for an event that has truly changed my outlook in life. He is certainly an executor when it comes to getting things done, but he is also gracious and takes the time to acknowledge the help of all involved in the process. To this day, the hotel that hosted the conference make mention of how amazing and appreciative attendees were due to Eddie's leadership as it took place. I can say that even after time has passed since the conference, that Eddie is still accessible and encouraging in my process of understanding work around social justice, race, and various segments around white privilege. I am very thankful to know that there is someone like him who is as passionate and enthusiastic in the midst of challenges that exist in the work and service he provides in his life's work.”
Dorian Spears
Career Steps Coordinator
“Eddie Moore is one of a kind! Dynamic, energetic and full of life is one small way to describe him. My first experience with Eddie was listening to his keynote address to a diversity conference at the Indian Hills College in Ottumwa, Iowa. Eddie had the full attention of all of the attendees as he brought forth new and fresh ideas and concepts in an interesting and often humorous way. Of course, I can't speak for all attendees, however he left me and three of my business associates inspired and I have little doubt that the other attendees felt the same. After my first experience, listening to Eddie speak, I made a point to communicate with him and have had the opportunity to invite him to our company to meet with several of my associates and I have since, developed a friendship with him. Eddie is a deep thinker with interesting and refreshing viewpoints. He is an inspirational speaker and leaves his intended audience, regardless of the size of the audience, motivated and enthused. Eddie is knowledgeable in human relations at many different levels. He understands how and why people think and act the way they do. Through his charismatic style, he can use that knowledge and understanding to mold the thoughts and actions of others to fit business and educational needs. The man is simply amazing! There are not enough words to describe Eddie Moore. He is one of a kind and my life is better knowing him.”
Bill White
Director, Human Resources at The Vincit Group
“Dr. Moore has the excellent ability to relate to people at a variety of levels on the diversity spectrum. Dedicated to broadening horizons and building community through respectful dialogue, he is able to engage and encourage a variety of personalities from a number of backgrounds to evolve and reevaluate their perspectives on diversity, social justice, and equity. In working with Dr. Moore on the White Privilege Conference and various other community projects during his tenure in Pella, Iowa, I learned a great deal that has allowed me to become a more effective leader and step into broader leadership positions within my community. His knowledge, passion and dedication make him a valuable asset and resource to any person or organization he works with.”
