Tuesday marks 40 years since the MOVE bombing in Philadelphia. On May 13, 1985, Philadelphia police dropped a bomb on a rowhome on Osage Avenue in Cobbs Creek. The resulting fire was allowed to burn and spread to dozens of other homes, killing 11 people, including five children. Our Joe Holden looks back at the tragic day, 40 years later, with Mike Africa Jr., whose friends and family were in that house on Osage Ave. “I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to fully accept what happened,” Africa said.
