Manage episode 348858641 series 2983867
*CW: discussion of infant deaths, child neglect, child abuse, and police brutality.
MOVE says their religion is Life. "JOHN AFRICA taught us that Life is the priority. Nothing is more important or as important as Life, the force that keeps us alive. All life comes from one source, from God, Mom Nature, Mama. Each individual life is dependent on every other life, and all life has a purpose, so all living beings, things that move, are equally important whether they are human beings, dogs, birds, fish, trees, ants, weeds, rivers, wind or rain." - 25 Year On The Move
This episode examines Life Africa, a baby boy born into the organization in March 1976 that MOVE says was murdered by police. This tragic event has been shared by MOVE as a justification for taking up arms against the system in 1977. In examining this infant death the podcast team uncovers other alleged infant deaths.
