Move! Part 3/6

A brief history of the Move organization in Philadelphia, and the 1978 siege on the Move home in Powelton Village, by the Philadelphia Police, that led to the shooting death of Philadelphia Police Officer James Ramp. In 1985 the Philadelphia Police, again, attacked Move in their Osage Avenue home, which led to the infamous bombing of their home by Police Chief Gregory Sambor. Eleven Move members, including women and children, died in the bombing while up to sixty private residences were left to burn, from the explosion, by the Philadelphia Fire Department. W. Wilson Goode, the city's first Black mayor, claimed responsibility for the bombing, although many believe the Philadelphia Police acted independently.
