Gigi 🍄‍🟫<p>We probably don&#39;t need a reminder that colonialism, white supremacy, and capitalism kill, but the MOVE bombing is tangible evidence of the lengths to which the system and its henchmen will go to protect themselves. </p><p>Eleven people, 5 of them children, were murdered on this date.</p><p>Say their names:</p><p>Raymond Africa (50)<br />John Africa (44)<br />Conrad Africa (36)<br />Rhonda Africa (30)<br />Frank Africa (26)<br />Theresa Africa (26)<br />Katricia Africa (14)<br />Zanetta Africa (13)<br />Phil Africa (12)<br />Delisha Africa (12)<br />Tomaso Africa (9)</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PoliceDontKeepUsSafe" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PoliceDontKeepUsSafe</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DefundDisarmDismantle" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DefundDisarmDismantle</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MOVEbombing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MOVEbombing</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BlackHistory</span></a></p>
Gigi 🍄‍🟫<p>Pittsburgh Gazette </p><p>❝ Operas of old focused on high-drama<br />stories of murder and betrayal and<br />passion and romance.</p><p>Operas today are a more mixed bag<br />but their dramatic tendencies tend to<br />run in a political and ideological<br />direction. That&#39;s certainly the case<br />with Pittsburgh Opera&#39;s season<br />closer, &quot;We Shall Not Be Moved,&quot;<br />which opens on Saturday at<br />the August Wilson African American<br />Cultural Center and runs through May<br />21.</p><p>&quot;We Shall Not Be Moved&quot; originally<br />premiered in 2017 in Philadelphia<br />and is set in North Philadelphia in the<br />abandoned headquarters of the<br />MOVE organization.<br />❞</p><p>✂️ Snip ✂️</p><p>❝Our story picks up with five children<br />from Philly who&#39;ve decided not to go<br />to school anymore because they&#39;re<br />not getting a good education,&quot; said<br />Daniel Bernard Roumain. &quot;And they<br />start being taught by ghosts in this old<br />building.❞</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MOVEbombing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MOVEbombing</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PoliceDontKeepUsSafe" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PoliceDontKeepUsSafe</span></a></p>
Gigi 🍄‍🟫<p>Yesterday in The Guardian:</p><p>❝ <br />As a child, Mike Africa was a regular visitor to this row house on the west side of Philadelphia, spending time with his great-aunt and uncle, cousins and friends – all members of Philadelphia’s Black liberation group known as Move. He remembers gathering with the other kids on the roof of 6221 Osage Avenue, eating fruit as the sun went down.</p><p>It was on that same roof, 38 years ago on Saturday, that one of the worst incidents in America’s long history of racial atrocities was perpetrated. At 5.27pm on 13 May 1985, a state helicopter commissioned by Philadelphia police flew low over the property and dropped a bomb made of C-4 plastic explosives directly on to it.</p><p>The device ignited a fire that turned into an inferno that was then notoriously allowed to burn by Philadelphia authorities intent on driving the Black radical organization out of the city. Eleven people trapped inside the Move house at 6221 Osage Avenue died in the conflagration.<br />❞</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/may/12/philadelphia-move-bombing-mike-africa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/us-news/2023/m</span><span class="invisible">ay/12/philadelphia-move-bombing-mike-africa</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MOVEbombing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MOVEbombing</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/evil" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>evil</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PoliceDontKeepUsSafe" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PoliceDontKeepUsSafe</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BlackHistory</span></a></p>
