Muhiyidin Moye, a prominent member of Charleston’s affiliate of the Black Lives Matter movement, died last Tuesday, in New Orleans, as a result of gunshot wounds he suffered while riding his bicycle. Moye became infamous for an attempt to grab a Confederate flag away from a secessionist demonstrator in Charleston last year because the sight of it had upset his “elders.” Martin Luther King, Jr., once remarked that social change was dependent upon the efforts of people who are “creatively maladjusted” to society, people whose contours have not been buffed to smoothness by indecent politeness and faulty social grace.
RIP Muhiyidin Moye.
