Come join us for a thought-provoking evening at yes, please : a bookhouse and carespace for a Film Screening & Discussion on the documentary of "The Bombing of Osage Avenue".
“On Mother's Day, 1985, a virtual army of city and state police converged on a quiet block in historic Cobb's Creek, a blossoming neighborhood of parks and children, aluminum siding and basketball stars nestled in the heart of Philadelphia's African American community. By the next day, 61 homes were destroyed and 11 people were dead, all members of the communitarian MOVE organization. In this, the winner of 1987's Global Village "Best Documentary Award", Massiah establishes the setting for the tragedy early on, and Toni Cade Bambara's poetic narration draws us deeper into the drama.”
Director/Producer: Louis Messiah
Writer/Narrater: Toni Cade Bambara
