@pbsnews: The largely forgotten history of Philadelphia’s police bombing of Black organization MOVE This week marked the 40th anniversary of one of the worst tragedies in Philadelphia’s history. In May 1985, the city’s police department dropped an improvised bomb on a residential home that housed the Black revolutionary organization MOVE. The bomb and ensuing fire killed 11 people, including five children, and destroyed more than 60 nearby homes. Ali Rogin reports. #pbsnews #newshour #pbsnewshour #news #move #philadelphia #blackhistory #westphiladelphia #history #untoldstories
Makes me think of the Black Panthers. 99% of what they did was directly helping people and yet they were treated like violent radicals, FBI invaded their org and destroyed them from within, and arranged the murders of several of their leaders
