Ramona Africa
Ramona is one of the only surviving children of the organization known as Move in Philadelphia. Their house was bombed by the Philly Police Department on orders from the top. Their organization promoted social justice, living with land, home schooling, and they challenged the city of Philadelphia.
Ramona Africa said once:
“Well what happened is, because Move tells the truth and speaks out about the injustices and racism in this system and could not be stopped, could not be bought off, could not be beat into submission the government just basically decided that they needed to exterminate Move.
And they used the excuse of an eviction that Move would not leave our home under an eviction as an excuse to come out, and not arrest but kill Move people”.
