DEAFENING SILENCE by Chuckie Africa

Don't yall hear cries of anguish? In the climate of pain come

joining voices?

but voices become unheard and strained by in-actions

of dead brains...

how long will thou Philly soul

remain in the pit of agonizing apathy?

In difference seems to greet you like the morning mirror

look closely in the mirror and realize its a period of mourning...

my sisters, mothers, daughters, wives and warriors

languish in prisons' obscurity like a distant star in another galaxy

as does their brothers

we need to be free

How loud can your silence stay?

stand up with courage and have a say

choose resistance and let go of your fears

the history of injustice to MOVE you know so well

But your deafening silence could be my DEATH KNELL.

My Life in MOVE: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly - Part 1: The Good

krystal@blacklove.com (Mike Africa Jr.) — Thu, 26 Aug 2021 11:30:00 +0000

Peace to the People! This week is the first of a multipart series titled MOVE: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. As you may (or may not) be aware, several former MOVE members including Mike's sister, have publicly left the organization. One request was for Mike to use his platform to share the truth about MOVE. In this series, Mike will share his experiences and as always speak nothing but his truth.

In the first part of the series, Mike recounts his first remembered experiences in MOVE. As a child, Mike always saw MOVE members as superheroes; they were strong, they stood up for themselves, and they were family. After a split from the organization in 1983, Mike and his family would move back to West Philly where the crack epidemic had hit the streets. As a child learning to adjust from the structure of MOVE to the streets would take its toll, and as a teenager Mike would make a decision that would change the course of his life from there forward.

MOVE's demands are as follows:

An immediate apology by the University of Pennsylvania, Princeton University, the Penn Museum, and Coursera to The MOVE Family and the Black community of Philadelphia for this racist and abhorrent behavior.

The termination of Janet Monge from her role as curator at the Penn Museum and faculty in the department of anthropology.
The creation of a transparent, public investigation led by a MOVE-approved investigator and funded by the Universities, into how these remains ended up in the Museum’s possession over the past 35 years.

We need everyone's help to make sure this doesn't fade into the background. Sign the petition, share all the posts, share this podcast. Make sure everyone keeps fighting so that Tree and Delisha can finally rest in peace

On a Move to the people! For Mike, June 16th has always been a bittersweet day and in 2021 that has not changed at all.

In this episode, Mike reflects on the dualities of this day and how for the past three years he has found himself mourning even when he should be celebrating.

Pain of Separation

krystal@blacklove.com (Debbie Africa, Mike Africa Jr.) — Thu, 20 May 2021 11:00:00 +0000

On a Move. Today, Mike is joined by his mother to discuss an article she wrote in 1999 called "Memories - Pain of Separation". From her last memories of the MOVE children, to the effects she knew her incarceration was having on her own children, "Pain of Separation" is not only a reflection of one moment in time, but ever relevant today as devastating news regarding the remains of those killed in the 1985 bombing continue to come to light.

"By the time I woke up, they were all gone. I can't remember too good, but I believe, the only ones left in the house were Bert, Tom, me and Witt. I was happy in a way, cuz they wouldn't have to be there in the city to put up with them cops, but sad too because I would miss them a lot. I never imagined ever with everything we had already been through with them cops, that I'd never see most of them again. We sent them to Virginia to keep them from being hurt; when we brought them back a few years later, they were killed May 13, 1985." - Debbie Africa excerpt from "Pain of Separation"

On May 13th, 1985 the city of Philadelphia with full authority and backing of the mayor at the time (Wilson Goode) dropped a bomb on the MOVE house located at 6221 Osage Ave. As the people inside the house tried to escape the flames, police officers fired shots at them forcing them to retreat back inside the burning building.

MOVE Children Deserve to Rest in Peace

krystal@blacklove.com (Mike Africa Jr., Abdul-Aliy Muhammad, Mike Africa Sr.) — Thu, 29 Apr 2021 11:00:00 +0000

On a Move. On April 21, 2021 author Abdul-Aliy Muhammad wrote an article in the Philadelphia Inquirer breaking the story of Penn and Princeton have held the remains of 1985 MOVE bombing victims #TreeAfrica and #DelishaAfrica without permission. Since then it has been a whirlwind of action, additional reports, and discovery as more information about the depth of the injustice at the hands of these institutions continues to be brought to light. In this episode, Mike is joined by his father, former political prisoner Mike Africa Sr., and the person who broke the story Abdul-Aliy Muhammad to discuss what they know so far, what has happened since the story came out, and just how they're feeling knowing that their MOVE family members are still not at peace.

MOVE's demands are as follows:

The immediate return of the remains of Delisha Africa and Tree Africa to The MOVE Family.
An immediate apology by the University of Pennsylvania, Princeton University, the Penn Museum, and Coursera to The MOVE Family and the Black community of Philadelphia for this racist and abhorrent behavior.
Financial reparations to The MOVE Family for the continued harm and trauma caused by Princeton University, the University of Pennsylvania, the Penn Museum, and Coursera, for the profits made by the use of our relatives as teaching tools and research objects.
The termination of Janet Monge from her role as curator at the Penn Museum and faculty in the department of anthropology.
The creation of a transparent, public investigation led by a MOVE-approved investigator and funded by the Universities, into how these remains ended up in the Museum’s possession over the past 35 years.
