Tuesday marks 40 years since the MOVE bombing in Philadelphia. On May 13, 1985, Philadelphia police dropped a bomb on a rowhome in Cobbs Creek.
The resulting fire was allowed to burn and spread to dozens of other homes, killing 11 people, including five children.
The situation came to a head after years of controversy between MOVE — the Black liberation, back-to-nature group — and Cobbs Creek neighbors.
On Monday, the community came together for a remembrance ceremony hosted by the Citizens Police Oversight Commission.
