calzephyrHave you heard the one about the time Philadelphia police dropped a bomb on a neighbourhood forty years ago?
Neither did I until last year when I listened to The Africas VS. America. It is disturbing and nauseating, so huge CW beforehand...but more people need to know more about this story.
In 1985, police dropped a bomb in a Philadelphia neighborhood. Their target? A family of Black radicals known as ‘MOVE,’ who found themselves ensnared in a city — and nation’s — domestic war on Black Liberation. Over seven episodes, host Matthew Amha investigates the events that culminated in the MOVE bombing, and the long afterlife of a forgotten American tragedy.
