Nancy Moore Praised

September 1997

Nancy Moore, longtime Humanists of Utah chapter member, is featured on the front page of the summer issue of the Utah ACLU Reporter. Adrienne Morris, the author and also a member of Humanists of Utah, writes, "I knew her as a hard worker who was concerned with many social issues, and I grew to love her as a true sister who has the courage and convictions of a lover of justice."

Morris, an English Teacher at Orem High School where Nancy was a counselor, praised Nancy for her humanist ideals, "As a loving humanist, the highest priority for her was her fellow humans and her relationships...I was amazed at her perspective, her courage, and her lack of anger or bitterness."

The ACLU magazine article recalled Nancy's leadership in the 1990 Orem High School civil rights battle to respect the religious dignity of non-LDS students, an experience that put Nancy in a difficult public spotlight. "Through it all," says Adrienne, "Nancy maintained her dignity and poise. She was clear, logical and passionate...Nancy deserves to be honored for all her efforts for a better world. Feminist, humanist, warm and wonderful friend." The Humanists of Utah agree!
