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.

Girlstuff/Boystuff is an animated series for children created by Ruth Beni. In Canada, it aired on YTV. In the United States, it aired on Noggin during its nighttime block, The N.[1]

Overview

[edit]

The show is about six teenage friends; three girls (Hanna, Reanne and Talia) and three boys (Jason, Ben and Simon), who talk about the differences between girls and boys, examining topics such as hobbies, food, music and fashion.[2]

Characters

[edit]
  • Hanna: She is the fashion queen in the group. She is spoiled and loves shopping. She is bossy in some way and is always trying to change others' fashion statement or style and tries to make it like her own.
  • Reanne: She does her bit for the environment and is a free spirit. She loves animals and thinks everyone has a good side. She wants to save the earth by cleaning parks, volunteering in nature groups and gets her friends involved in some way.
  • Talia: She is the youngest in the group, but her outfits make her look older. She has a say what you think/nervous demeanour. Her favourite things are filming and photography. She also has her own website.
  • Jason: He is Talia's brother and not the only person who would refuse to try at all but in the end he wins. He loves music and is almost always wearing his headphones and portable CD player. He likes to keep with the flow and the latest cool stuff. He wants to become a DJ.
  • Ben: Slightly obnoxious, Ben is most likely to have the latest "coolnest" but at the end of the day he is a good boy who cares about his friends. He is probably the second biggest show-off, behind Hanna.
  • Simon: He is the smartest of the group and a computer whiz. He is kind of a nerd but his friends like to think of him as a cool, smart guy. He is very cautious.
