Charleston City Paper: WEEK IN REVIEW: Moore, kin of Civil War hero, eyes Congress
Charleston businessman Michael Boulware Moore, the great-great-grandson of Civil War hero Robert Smalls, wants to follow in his relative’s footsteps to the U.S. Congress as he joins a production team considering a movie about his legendary ancestor.
Moore, who was integral in the development of the International African American Museum, is preparing to announce in the coming weeks that he’ll be a 2024 Democratic Party candidate in the 1st Congressional District. The seat currently is held by U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace, R-Isle of Palms.
