Both seem to fear the south and both seem to feel the need to leave.
Eddie left the south while Harry stayed behind. Harry also fought for the NAACP.
If I was in their situation, I would have left the south immediately. However, I do admire the bravery of Harry T. Moore to stay even with threats of death and worse for defending an innocent person. However, I would leave as that is a scary situation to be in.

The experiences were similar because both of them were black and against segregation and lynching. They were different because one of them left the south and one of them stayed. I agree with Harry's decision to stay. It helped people and was a very brave thing to do.

Both Eddie Earvin and Harry T Moore experienced racism and threats after standing up for civil rights.

while Eddie left to avoid the danger, Jarry chose to stay and continue advocating for civil rights, even though it ended up getting him killed

I agree more with Eddie Ervin’s decision to leave because protecting your life and your family is important, and leaving does not mean someone stops believing in justice.

Both felt the harm of racism when they were in the South. Both saw that African Americans were treated very poorly in the South.
Harry stayed in the South and tried fighting for NAACP. Eddie left to try to leave racism and find different opportunities.
I agree with Harry because he stayed and fought for the NAACP which helped a ton of people in the process.

Their experiences were similar because both of them feared the south greatly and were getting stuck in the middle of segregation.
They were different because while Eddie left the south, Harry stayed and also created the NACCP and was fighting for it.
I agree with Eddie more because he left and it is always right to do whats best and safest for you and your family. Also Harry lost the NAPPC anyways and it ended up failing.

They were both similar because they both had the feeling to leave the south due to many acts of racism including lynching and segregation, but they were also different because Eddie actually left the south by secretly saving money to flee while Moore stayed back to fight against the cause for the NCAAP and if I were in their shoes I would rather take the safer option to save my money and flee out of the south than stay back to fight against it.

They collectively feared the South and felt very compelled to leave. Something that made their experiences similar was that they had violent threats and were harmed by racism.
Eddie left the South to leave the dangerous and prejudiced life he was forced to live. While Harry stayed to advocate for civil rights by starting the NAACP instead of fleeing when things got really bad.
I agree more with Eddie on a human nature perspective. If I am constantly facing threats and abuse, I would want to leave the first chance I get.

They both feared the south, and yearned to leave.
Eddie fled the south to get rid of the horrible life he had, while Harry stayed and started the NAACP.
I agree with Eddie's decision to leave, as it gave him a chance to get rid of the abuse he faced.

Eddie Earvin and Harry T. Moore both had to deal with racism. Both of them lived in a time of segregation and Lynching. Both of them were African American and lived in the south.

Eddie adventured out of the south. Eddie left due to his fear of the South. Harry wanted to stay in Florida.

I agree more with Eddie Ervin's. He left for his own health and to help his family. Eddie made the right move to protect his family.

1) Both Eddie Earvin and Harry T Moore had feeling to leave the south because of reasons like racial discrimination and threats.

2) Eddies reason for leaving the south was to avoid danger while Harry continued to fight for civil right and for his people.

3) I agree with Eddies decision to leave the south for the sake of his family and health.

The experiences of Eddie Ervin and Harry T. Moore are very similar. The reason why I say this is because they both lived in fear. People were being racist towards them, and they wanted to leave.
The experiences were different because one left and one stayed to fight.
I would choose to leave because it's a very scary and hard situation. I would trust someone else to fight for everyone. I would hope that the person would succeeding in fighting for us.

Both Eddie Earvin and Harry T. Moore had to deal with racism. Both of them lived in the same consequences and fight thought it. Both of them were African American and lived in the South.

Harry wanted to stay in Florida, but Eddie Ervin wanted adventure south, so he left his fear of the South.

I agree more with Eddie Ervin's. Because he made lots of sacrifices for his own health and to help his family. That's why I think Eddie made the right move to protect his family.

Both of them were very scared of the racism in the south and they needed to leave it in the middle of segregation
Eddie was the one who left the south but Harry stayed behind and fought for the NAACP in the south
I agree more with Eddie because he did a lot for his family, faced a lot of challenges, and he loved his family because he did many things for them

The experiences were similar because they were both dealing with segregation and lynching. They were different one of them went to Florida and went on with life, the other one stayed there to fight for the NAACP. I agree with Harry because he stayed and fought for the NAACP, and helped many people.
