Yesterday, while in Philadelphia, MB and I visited friends who live there. They took us to the scene of the infamous Philly police department massacre of the MOVE neighborhood.
In 1985, Philadelphia police bombed a residential building to end a standoff with Black militant group MOVE, setting a new standard for institutionalized violence and the dehumanization of Black bodies.
TARGET: PHILADELPHIA explores the rise of police militarization within the contexts of Black nationalism and the systemic disenfranchisement that incubates movements like Black Lives Matter.
