When you’re really a threat to the status quo… The reason they don’t respond to the KKK, white nationalists and supremacists in similar fashion is because they are not threats to the status quo.

Looking Back on Deadly MOVE Bombing 35 Years Later

NBC10 photojournalist Pete Kane recalls what it was like to witness the MOVE bombing in Philadelphia 35 years ago. The mayor at the time, W. Wilson Goode Sr., recently penned an op-ed about the deadly incident in which he expresses regrets.

Previous Post The response to black resistance has always been swift and heavy handed. And no, there can be no healing without (or before) accountability and restitution. ”“Wilson Goode for me has always been the boogeyman,” Mike Africa Jr said. “After some meetings with him I came out literally vomiting. He’s the face of the bomb that killed my family, the man who said after the bomb was dropped that if he had to, he would do it again. So to sit in a room with him, even decades later, was gut-wrenching.” Mike Africa Jr said he disliked the phrase “reconciliation”, preferring “restorative justice”. The initial demand from Move was to have all the remaining seven members of the Move 9 who had been incarcerated after the 1978 siege released – an ambition fulfilled in February. Now Mike Africa wants to see the release of an associate of Move, the former Black Panther member Mumia Abu-Jamal who has been incarcerated since 1981 for the murder of a Philadelphia police officer. Africa also wants to see some form of reprimand for those who ordered and participated in the 1985 bombing.”
