Thomas Moss was an African American businessman and civil rights advocate who was lynched in 1892 in Memphis, Tennessee. He was a co-owner of a successful grocery store and was targeted after a conflict with a white competitor. His lynching, along with that of his friends, sparked outrage and led to widespread protests against racial violence, influencing figures like Ida B. Wells, who campaigned against lynching and for civil rights. Moss's death highlighted the pervasive racism and injustice faced by Black individuals in the post-Reconstruction South.
