Robert Bob Moses, a civil rights activist who pushed for quality public school education for all children, has died, NAACP President Derrick Johnson announced on Sunday. He was 86. Bob Moses was a giant, a strategist at the core of the civil rights movement, Johnson said. Through his life s work, he bent the arc of the moral universe towards justice, making our world a better place. He fought for our right to vote, our most sacred right.

His example is more important now than ever.
