Today, May 13th, has been declared a day of reflection and remembrance for the MOVE Bombing — which happened 40 years ago today.
I urge every Philadelphian to take some time today to reflect on this tragedy. One way you can do this is by listening to @PhillyInquirer's“MOVE: Untangling the Tragedy” — their six-part podcast with @TempleUniv @TULoganCenter — which digs into the city’s 1985 decision to drop a bomb on the MOVE house, killing 11 people and destroying a neighborhood. It’s based on interviews with MOVE members, neighbors, and journalists who covered the bombing and fire that city officials let burn until they could not control it.
