The story : Once upon a time in Philadelphia , in 1985 , there was a peaceful black liberation movement organization named MOVE.
MOVE , originally called the 'Christian Movement for Life' , was founded in Philadelphia 1972 by John Africa.
Members were mostly black , wore their hair in dreadlocks and were radical demonstrators of green politics and the hunter-gatherer society.
The members of MOVE believed they were not a cult, but infact lived by their own beliefs in God , child-rearing , politcal views , animal rights and food.
Each member had a name that ended in 'Africa'.
For sometime , MOVE lived in peaceful bliss.
But there was always an increasing group of people complaining about the filth , parole violations, contempt of court , illegal possession of firearms , noise at all hours of the day and night coming from the MOVE residence and so-called terrorist threats.
One day , the mayor of Philadelphia W. Wilson Goode and the Philadelphia Police Department began referring to MOVE as a terrorist group.
