Today in #FuckThePolice

It's the 40th anniversary of the
#MoveBombing

I would like to hope that everyone knows what that means, but in case ya don't:

This is the day on which Philadelphia politicians and cops decided that they had enough ✌🏾"nuisance complaints"✌🏾to DROP TWO BOMBS ON A HOUSE AND KILL ELEVEN PEOPLE, INCLUDING FIVE CHILDREN.

Then they refused to let the ensuing fire be put out and it destroyed SIXTY-ONE HOMES. I wonder how the neighbours with the noise complaints felt about how they were resolved. 😐

For the record: Not a single person has been prosecuted for this massacre/travesty/abomination.

In 1985, the police dropped a bomb on a Philly house, AFTER firing 10K rounds at it.

The resulting fire was allowed to burn the whole block. 11 people died, 5 were children, some shot as they fled the fire. The police chief considered them enemy combatants.

Not one person went to jail,or faced a consequence. Today's GOP definitely don't want this remembered or talked about, so let's all talk about it.

Also, Code Switch has an interview with Mike Africa, Jr., that's riveting.

This is the anniversary of the Move bombing. “Despite the devastation caused by the bombing, no Philadelphia official was ever criminally prosecuted for it. It took 35 years for the city to apologise for the violence it had inflicted on its own citizens.”

We probably don't need a reminder that colonialism, white supremacy, and capitalism kill, but the MOVE bombing is tangible evidence of the lengths to which the system and its henchmen will go to protect themselves.

Eleven people, 5 of them children, were murdered on this date.

Say their names:

Raymond Africa (50)
John Africa (44)
Conrad Africa (36)
Rhonda Africa (30)
Frank Africa (26)
Theresa Africa (26)
Katricia Africa (14)
Zanetta Africa (13)
Phil Africa (12)
Delisha Africa (12)
Tomaso Africa (9)

Pittsburgh Gazette

❝ Operas of old focused on high-drama
stories of murder and betrayal and
passion and romance.

Operas today are a more mixed bag
but their dramatic tendencies tend to
run in a political and ideological
direction. That's certainly the case
with Pittsburgh Opera's season
closer, "We Shall Not Be Moved,"
which opens on Saturday at
the August Wilson African American
Cultural Center and runs through May
21.

"We Shall Not Be Moved" originally
premiered in 2017 in Philadelphia
and is set in North Philadelphia in the
abandoned headquarters of the
MOVE organization.

❝Our story picks up with five children
from Philly who've decided not to go
to school anymore because they're
not getting a good education," said
Daniel Bernard Roumain. "And they
start being taught by ghosts in this old
building.❞

Yesterday in The Guardian:

❝
As a child, Mike Africa was a regular visitor to this row house on the west side of Philadelphia, spending time with his great-aunt and uncle, cousins and friends – all members of Philadelphia’s Black liberation group known as Move. He remembers gathering with the other kids on the roof of 6221 Osage Avenue, eating fruit as the sun went down.

It was on that same roof, 38 years ago on Saturday, that one of the worst incidents in America’s long history of racial atrocities was perpetrated. At 5.27pm on 13 May 1985, a state helicopter commissioned by Philadelphia police flew low over the property and dropped a bomb made of C-4 plastic explosives directly on to it.

The device ignited a fire that turned into an inferno that was then notoriously allowed to burn by Philadelphia authorities intent on driving the Black radical organization out of the city. Eleven people trapped inside the Move house at 6221 Osage Avenue died in the conflagration.
