In this series, Mike will share his experiences and as always speak nothing but his truth. In the first part of the series, Mike recounts his first remembered experiences in MOVE. As a child, Mike always saw MOVE members as superheroes; they were strong, they stood up for themselves, and they were family. After a split from the organization in 1983, Mike and his family would move back to West Philly where the crack epidemic had hit the streets. As a child learning to adjust from the structure of MOVE to the streets would take its toll, and as a teenager Mike would make a decision that would change the course of his life from there forward.Head over to MikeAfricaJr.com to connect with Mike and check out his Patreon  if you would like to support the pod.=====Make sure you're following the podcast on your favorite platform to never miss a new episode. Be a part of the movement and connect with usInstagram @mikeafricajr @onamovepodcast

On a Move. Today, Mike is joined by his mother to discuss an article she wrote in 1999 called "Memories - Pain of Separation". From her last memories of the MOVE children, to the effects she knew her incarceration was having on her own children, "Pain of Separation" is not only a reflection of one moment in time, but ever relevant today as devastating news regarding the remains of those killed in the 1985 bombing continue to come to light. "By the time I woke up, they were all gone. I can't remember too good, but I believe, the only ones left in the house were Bert, Tom, me and Witt. I was happy in a way, cuz they wouldn't have to be there in the city to put up with them cops, but sad too because I would miss them a lot. I never imagined ever with everything we had already been through with them cops, that I'd never see most of them again. We sent them to Virginia to keep them from being hurt; when we brought them back a few years later, they were killed May 13, 1985." - Debbie Africa excerpt from "Pain of Separation"====Head over to MikeAfricaJr.com to get your copy of the brand new book "50 Years on a Move"If you're liking what you're hearing, make sure you're following the podcast on your favorite platform to never miss a new episode.
