May 13, 2025, marks the 40th anniversary of the MOVE bombing—one of the most devastating and controversial actions ever taken by a U.S. city against its own citizens. MOVE, a Black liberation and back-to-nature organization, had been in frequent conflict with Philadelphia authorities since the 1970s, including a violent 1978 standoff that resulted in the death of a police officer and imprisonment of several MOVE members. Tensions culminated on May 13, 1985, when police dropped a bomb on MOVE's West Philadelphia row house. The explosion and subsequent fire killed 11 people—including five children—and destroyed over 60 homes in the surrounding neighborhood. Four decades later, the bombing remains a symbol of racial injustice, police militarization, and governmental overreach. This anniversary invites solemn remembrance, critical reflection, and renewed commitment to justice, truth, and healing for the MOVE victims and the Osage Avenue community.

When Morris Foster died in 1889 at the Blockley Hospital in West Philadelphia, his friends suspected that he had been poisoned. Foster's corpse was exhumed and a graveside post-mortem examination was performed. But as the two physicians prepared to remove portions of Foster's internal organs and bone for a chemical analysis, they made a shocking discovery-- a line of deftly-placed stitches over the abdomen of the deceased. Evidently, someone had already performed an autopsy. But who? And, more importantly, why?

In June of 2025, Dr. Jon Carroll will depart Harvard-Westlake after thirteen years—the first three leading HW Aquatics and the last ten as a middle school dean. Jon is not departing to join another school community, however—but to build one. In the fall of 2026, Jon will open Jabali Academy, a K-8 independent school centered in Inglewood with the mission of inspiring excellence in students and preparing them for places like Harvard-Westlake. Jabali, which means “rock” in Swahili, is emblematic of the foundation that education provided in Jon's own life—growing up in West Philadelphia as the child of educators, attending both private and public schools, before college at the University of Pennsylvania and then a PhD from UCLA. Lastly and most affectionately, Dr. Carroll speaks about the excellence and influence of his wife, noted TV writer and showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll. In addition to Nkechi, Jon references Paul Lindenmaier and Roy Farrar of Germantown Friends School, Tyrone Howard of UCLA, and Howard Stevenson of UPenn as profound influences on his life and career.

Joining me for this episode of Perspectives is culinary expert Annette Anthony. In Always Enough: A Global Food Memoir written by Annette Anthony takes readers on a global culinary adventure. She uses her Black girl culinary experience to show that what is similar across cultures stands out just as much as their uniqueness, and that there is always enough at the table, however little or much. From Philadelphia to travels across several continents, Anthony offers a generous and eclectic collection of more than 160 recipes she developed across her lifetime. Unlike cookbooks that concentrate on food preparation and ingredients alone, Always Enough maps a life enriched by many cultures and cuisines, reflecting the author's worlds and discovery of the crossroads of cultures and cuisines through poetry, prose and recipes. Anthony's memoir launches from her grandparents West Philadelphia home, where their southern roots influenced meals. Then she takes us to Paris, the Ivory Coast and back to Europe where she now lives in London.

On a Move: Philadelphia's Notorious Bombing and a Native Son's Lifelong Battle for Justice by Mike Africa Jr. https://amzn.to/4cs15Zw The incredible story of MOVE, the revolutionary Black civil liberties group that Philadelphia police bombed in 1985, killing 11 civilians—by one of the few people born into the organization, raised during the bombing's tumultuous aftermath, and entrusted with repairing what was left of his family. "As necessary and powerful as it is captivating." – Michael Harriot, New York Times bestselling author of Black AF History "Searing and urgent." – Bakari Sellers, New York Times bestselling author of My Vanishing Country and The Moment Before police dropped a bomb on a residential neighborhood on May 13, 1985, few people outside Philadelphia were aware that a Black-led civil liberties organization had taken root there. Founded in 1972 by a charismatic ideologue called John Africa, MOVE's mission was to protect all forms of life from systemic oppression. They drew their ideology from the Black Panther Party and pre-dated animal and environmental rights groups like PETA and Earth First. MOVE emerged in an era when Black Philadelphians suffered under devastating policies brought by the long, doomed war in Vietnam, Mayor Frank Rizzo's overtly racist police surveillance, and, eventually, President Ronald Reagan's War on Drugs. MOVE members lived together in a collection of West Philadelphia row houses and took the surname Africa out of admiration for the group's founder. But in MOVE's lifestyle, city officials saw threats to their status quo. Their bombing of MOVE homes shocked the nation and made international news. Eleven people were killed, including five children. And the City of Brotherly Love became known as the City That Bombed Itself. Among the children most affected by the bombing was Mike Africa Jr. Born in jail following a police attack on MOVE that led to his parents' decades-long incarcerations, Mike was six years old and living with his grandmother when MOVE was bombed. In the ensuing years, Mike sought purpose in the ashes left behind. He began learning about the law as a teenager and became adept at speaking and inspiring public support with the help of other MOVE members. In 2018, at age 40, he finally succeeded in getting his parents released from prison. On a Move is one of the most unimaginable stories of injustice and resilience in recent American history. But it is not only one of tragedy. It is about coming-of-age for a young activist, the strong ties of family, and, against all odds, learning how to take indignities on the chin and to work within the very system that created them. At once a harrowing personal account and an impassioned examination of racism and police violence, On a Move testifies to the power of love and hope, in the face of astonishing wrongdoing.

Full Hour | In today's second hour, Dom welcomes in newly re-elected State Representative Amen Brown back onto the Dom Giordano Program, a Democrat who faced strong opposition during his primary by a candidate backed by the Working Families Party, a Socialist sect of the Democratic Party, who vehemently disagree with Brown's hard stance on crime. Brown explains his duty in Harrisburg, and breaks down the odd dynamic between white progressives in West Philadelphia and the black community that's being used for their experimentation of their progressive ideologies. Then, Dom moves back to the topic of anti-Israel protestors out at Columbia who have violently taken over Hamilton Hall, taking calls from listeners asking how we've gotten to the point where young people in America have sided with terrorists. Also, Dom welcomes Jay Town, Former US Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama, onto the Dom Giordano Program to discuss multiple legal issues pertaining to President Trump and protests throughout the nation. First, Dom tells Town that he loves a tweet he made earlier today that suggest the respective universities facing protests call in their football team to break up and send home the anti-Israel protesters.

Today's Headlines: House Republicans, led by Matt Gaetz, sabotaged a procedural vote to start debate on the reauthorization of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, citing concerns over an exclusionary amendment that Trump claimed would protect Americans but others argued would dismantle the program. By blocking the debate, any chance to advocate for the amendment was effectively quashed. Meanwhile, Kevin McCarthy hinted during an interview at Georgetown University that Gaetz's actions contributed to him losing the chance to become Speaker, referencing allegations of unethical behavior involving a 17-year-old. In other news, a shooting during a Ramadan event in West Philadelphia left three injured, including the 15-year-old suspect who was subsequently apprehended by police. Additionally, Donald Trump stated he wouldn't endorse a national abortion ban, while South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem faced backlash from Native American tribes for offensive comments, and the New York state director for RFK Jr's campaign openly discussed diverting votes from Biden in favor of Trump. Sunday's Women's NCAA Basketball National Championship game became the most watched basketball game since 2019.  Resources/Articles mentioned in this episode: The Hill: Group of Republicans blocks FISA bill with spy powers deadline looming Axios: McCarthy takes shot at Gaetz scandal when discussing his ouster CBS News: Shooting at Ramadan event in West Philadelphia leaves 3 injured, 5 in custody, police say The Hill: Trump says he wouldn't sign a national abortion ban The Daily Beast: South Dakota Gov.

During a recent interview with Univision, President Joe Biden claimed his administration is “examining” whether he has power to shut down the U.S. Southern border. Judd explains, Biden “is full of crap”—the executive branch has had the authority to prevent mass illegal migration, but the administration has simply refused to act. Judd notes that border patrol is arresting over 3,000 people each day for entering the U.S. unlawfully with an additional 1,000 migrants evading custody altogether.   6:30pm- Liz Wolfe of Reason writes: “Back in August 2022, when some of us were fresh-faced and naive, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) assured us that their $80 billion infusion of cash (over the course of a decade, so they could hire some 87,000 new workers, including but not limited to men with guns) would actually be a means of targeting millionaire and billionaire scofflaws, not ordinary middle-class earners.” However, according to new reports, the IRS is targeting middle-class earners.

Starting in 1999, Larry Miller worked alongside Michael Jordan to build Nike's Jordan brand, which today generates more than $5 billion in revenue for Nike. But his journey to the C-suite was a unique one.Growing up in West Philadelphia, Miller joined a gang, which led him to serve multiple prison sentences for a series of crimes, including second-degree murder.Through a rehabilitation programme, he was able to begin his college education while in prison, and upon release, he was able to start his career with an accounting job at the Campbell Soup Company. In 1997, Miller started working for Nike under founder Phil Knight, and became the first Black vice president of apparel at the company before going on to become president of the Jordan brand in 1999.But it wasn't until years later that he went public about his backstory with the publication of his book, “Jump: My Secret Journey From the Streets to the Boardroom.”At BoF VOICES 2022, Miller sat down with UTA executive Darnell Strom to share his story, talk about the power of second chances and explain how he found redemption.“I've come to the realisation that a lot of times we are afraid to talk about the obstacles that we overcome. But in reality there's no shame in overcoming obstacles,” said Miller.Key Insights:“When I was 16, I shot a kid and he died and I was charged as an adult at 16 years old… pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, was sentenced to four and a half to 20 years,” Miller revealed at BoF VOICES 2022.Once he had revealed his story, Miller says Michael Jordan and Phil Knight were supportive and encouraged him to share his story. “It's been amazing to me the response that I've gotten from people who I've known and worked with and who have just encouraged me and embraced the fact that I've got this past.”Following the release of his book, Miller apologised to the family of Edward David White, the man he killed. In White's honour Miller created a foundation for his descendents to attend university or trade school.“I think I'm a perfect example of the fact that a person can change if given the right opportunities… the right chance. But it starts inside of you. You have to believe that you can change,” said Miller.Additional Resources:A Nike Executive Seeks a Family's Forgiveness for a 1965 Murder: The New York Times the story of the impact of Larry Miller, chairman of the Jordan Brand Advisory Board, and his actions as a 16-year-old.Jump: My Secret Journey from the Streets to the Boardroom: “Jump” written by Larry Miller and his daughter, Laila Lacy, shares the story of Miller's life from the streets of West Philadelphia to the Nike boardroom.How Larry Miller Went from Prison Valedictorian to Nike Executive: Freakonomics interviews Larry Miller on his journey from his childhood in West Philadelphia, to serving time in prison and finally to running the Jordan brand.
