Leonard Moore is a founding member of AACCES. Since the organization’s incorporation, in November 2003, Leonard has served in different roles—first as Vice President, and now History & Recognition Committee Chair. Leonard and other early AACCES members spent countless hours conducting and filming interviews with former Hanford workers as part of a project to capture and preserve the experiences of African Americans who came to the area to work on the 1940’s era Manhattan Project at Hanford. Leonard’s ties to the Tri-Cities of Washington reach back to the early 1940’s when his father, Thomas Moore, worked on a railroad crew for the emerging Hanford Site and later established several private businesses in Pasco, WA. Today, Leonard still operates his family’s metal recycling business, Tommy’s Steel & Salvage, Inc.
