"On A Move” tells the 40-year journey for justice following the 1985 police bombing of the MOVE house in Philadelphia, which killed 11 members and destroyed an entire block. This free event will feature a conversation with author Mike Africa Jr., who was born in a J*il cell after a previous police attack on MOVE. As one of the few people born and raised in MOVE, Mike will discuss his fight to free his parents from Pr*son, reclaim his family home, and dispel the propaganda that villainized the organization. Books will be available for purchase, with a signing by Mike Africa Jr.
