MY'STORY

The MOVE Fire

This is a personal recollection on the Move fire on May 13, 1985 Philadelphia police fired thousands of rounds at the MOVE house, city officials approved dropping an explosive device on the roof, the resulting fire was allowed to burn, 11 people—including five children—died, and 61 homes were destroyed. Philadelphia City Council later called it a “brutal attack carried out by the City of Philadelphia on its own citizens” and acknowledged that no individual faced criminal consequences for the bombing. One timeline correction worth preserving for the BHP record: the major previous MOVE-police confrontation was August 8, 1978, about seven years before the bombing, not a year or two earlier. Officer James Ramp was killed, other police and firefighters were wounded, nine MOVE members were later convicted, and television cameras recorded police beating Delbert Africa during his arrest. The 1985 MOVE Commission later specifically criticized city planners for failing to adequately use lessons from that 1978 confrontation. And that actually strengthens the point you’re making: 1985 did not happen without precedent or institutional memory. There had already been a deadly confrontation with MOVE, years of conflict, negotiations and police involvement before Osage Avenue.

Episode 37 of the Revision Path podcast. The episode begins with host Maurice Cherry thanking the show’s sponsors and describing the logistics of producing a free podcast. He also implores his listeners to donate to the show, stating that Revision Path is the only podcast that showcases black designers.
The interview segment begins with Cherry inviting his guest, Jon Daniel, to introduce himself. Daniel speaks with a British accent and gives a brief autobiography. Some of the topics they discuss include, Daniel’s career and his tenure at International Business Machines Corporation (IBM); design culture in the 1950s and 1960s, and the Sylvia Harris essay; Daniel’s inspiration for curating the Afro Supa Hero exhibition; Daniel’s West Indian heritage; how West Indian, British and African American diasporic influences inform Daniel’s work; similarities and differences between African American and black British customs and attitudes; the lack of black representation in business and commerce; Daniel’s five-year goals; Daniel’s family life; as well as advice he would give to burgeoning designers.
Toward the end of the interview, Maurice Cherry asks Daniel to mention where he can be found online; then, the men thank each other. In the outro, Cherry thanks the show’s sponsors again and advertises the show’s August newsletter.
