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.

Double exponential function

A double exponential function is a constant raised to the power of an exponential function. The general formula is f ( x ) = a b x = a ( b x ) {\displaystyle f(x)=a^{b^{x}}=a^{(b^{x})}} (where a > 1 and b > 1), which grows much more quickly than an exponential function. For example, if a = b = 10: f(x) = 1010x f(0) = 10 f(1) = 1010 f(2) = 10100 = googol f(3) = 101000 f(100) = 1010100 = googolplex. Factorials grow faster than exponential functions, but much more slowly than double exponential functions. However, tetration and the Ackermann function grow faster. See Big O notation for a comparison of the rate of growth of various functions. The inverse of the double exponential function is the double logarithm log(log(x)). The complex double exponential function is entire, because it is the composition of two entire functions f ( x ) = a x = e x ln ⁡ a {\displaystyle f(x)=a^{x}=e^{x\ln a}} and g ( x ) = b x = e x ln ⁡ b {\displaystyle g(x)=b^{x}=e^{x\ln b}} .

Greenwood / Black Wall Street

Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
