In 1985 the city of Philadelphia sort the 'final solution' for the MOVE 'problem' by attacking their home with 10,000 rounds of ammunition, tear gas, water cannons and finally a bomb that burnt 60 homes to the ground.
6 MOVE adults and 5 children were burned to death. Ramona managed to escape with one of the children. She was sentenced to seven years for 'riot'.
Mumia Abu-Jamal is a MOVE supporter who also has also experienced the injustice of the system whilst spending over 26 years on death row for a crime he did not commit.
Come and hear about all these events and see the MOVE documentary narrated by Howard Zinn.
