FRANCE 24 English published this video item, entitled “Attack on Black liberation group MOVE: The day Philadelphia bombed its own citizens • FRANCE 24” – below is their description.
The Black liberation group MOVE was founded in 1972 in the US city of Philadelphia. It combined a wide array of ideologies, including environmentalism, animal rights and an end to capitalism. The group’s activities were closely watched by law enforcement, at times leading to armed confrontation. Tensions peaked on May 13, 1985, when the Philadelphia police bombed the MOVE house, killing 11 Black people. Despite two grand jury investigations and a civil suit, no one was ever criminally charged for the bombing. More than 35 years later, FRANCE 24’s correspondents returned to Philadelphia to revisit the day the city bombed its own citizens.
