Ronnie Moore currently serves as the Director for Cornerstone Builders<\/a>, a program that helps formerly incarcerated men and women re-enter society through service and provides support for families and children of the incarcerated.\u00a0\u00a0 Although Cornerstone Builders began only seven years ago, Moore has been a renowned civil rights leader in the community for over 50 years.\u00a0 During the 1960s, he was a field director for the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), which has been called \u201cone of the most important civil rights organizations in the history of the United States.\u201d\u00a0 He worked closely with CORE\u2019s national director, James L. Farmer Jr., to register voters and protest public segregation throughout the South. \u00a0Over the course of his civil rights advocacy, Moore was arrested 15 times, served six months in jail, and spent 57 days in solitary confinement.\u00a0 Despite all of the hardship that he and his fellow activists endured, Moore looks back upon that time in his life as his best years.\u00a0 \u201cWe didn\u2019t know it would be a part of history,\u201d he said. \u00a0\u201cWe were caught up in something that was greater than ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Ronnie-500\"<\/p>\n

Today, Moore is fighting a new battle for a new generation.\u00a0 Louisiana has the highest incarceration rate per capita in the world, and Moore is seeking to heal the damage that widespread incarceration has inflicted on our community.\u00a0 He feels that this cause is of equal importance to those that he fought for in the 1960s, saying \u201cmass incarceration is the final chapter in the struggle from slavery to this day.\u201d Incarceration disproportionately affects minority populations, with one out of every three black men going to jail in their lifetime, but it also affects other vulnerable groups of people. Moore explained that 30 percent of people in prison today have mental handicaps, with an approximate additional 35 percent suffering from substance abuse.<\/p>\n

Every year through its Annual Symposium for Systematic Change, Cornerstone Builders seeks to address widespread incarceration by bringing together local leaders for discussion from a wide array of industries.\u00a0 From day to day, Cornerstone provides immediate help to re-entering citizens including shelter, employment, and a support network.\u00a0 Additionally, Cornerstone has a mentoring program for children of the incarcerated and helps coordinate free monthly bus trips to Louisiana detention centers for families of the incarcerated. Through this multi-faceted approach, Moore and Cornerstone are changing the way people view the criminal justice system and helping the formerly incarcerated to become productive, contributing citizens.\u00a0 Despite his already long list of incredible accomplishments, Ronnie Moore is still on a journey of service, touching lives spanning across generations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
