MOVE is a radical Black Liberation movement based out of Philadelphia. Founded by the self-named “John Africa”, MOVE has an aggressively anti-capitalist, anti-technology, and anti-government agenda which led first to conflicts with their neighbors and then with the Philadelphia police.
The conflict between MOVE and the Philadelphia PD exploded into violence on two occasions, finally culminating in a standoff in 1985 which ended with the police dropping a two pound bomb on the roof of the MOVE compound, starting a fire that destroyed 65 homes and killed 11 MOVE members, including several children.
