Amzie Moore (September 23, 1911 – February 1, 1982) was an African American, civil rights leader, and entrepreneur in the Mississippi Delta.

Moore was born on the Wilkin plantation near the Grenada and Carroll County lines. Proud of his family roots, Moore liked to tell about his grandfather, a slave who lived to be 104: “He couldn't read or write, yet he accumulated more than a section of land and had [about] … twenty thousand dollars … saved when he died."^{[citation needed]}

Left on his own at fourteen after his mother died in 1925, Moore completed high school but could not realize his dream of a college education. Through the rest of his life, however, he worked hard to educate himself.

Even before leaving Mississippi to fight in the war, Moore was involved in race relations, once organizing a successful rally of 10,000 blacks in his hometown.^{[citation needed]} He served over three and a half years in the United States Army including time overseas^{[citation needed]} before returning to his job at the U. S. Post Office where he had worked since 1935.
