“A calming nature,” they called him, a man who knew how to bridge divides and soothe a city’s soul. Right here, gazing out from this bronze bust, stands Moses White, a man who embodied the spirit of Tampa. The Moses White Bust doesn’t simply mark a place; it commemorates a legacy. Moses White, a successful businessman and civil rights leader, left an indelible mark on Tampa. Born in 1915 in Georgia, he rose from humble beginnings, building a life in Tampa around community and equality. While his Deluxe Cozy Corner restaurant tantalized taste buds with its legendary fried chicken and ribs, it was his heart that truly nourished the city. During the tumultuous Tampa race riots of 1967, Moses White, a beacon of peace, famously fed both rioters and first responders, urging calm and understanding. He understood that true progress lay in unity, not division. From advocating for a veterans’ hospital to organizing community events, Moses White’s dedication to his adopted city was unwavering. His legacy lives on, not just in bronze, but in the spirit of Tampa he helped shape.
