Description: Attention, MOVE! This is America by Margot Harry Philadelphia Police Firebombing Attention, MOVE! This is America by Margot Harry The book features a unique look at MOVE stand-off and subsequent firebombing by the Philadelphia Police, neat vintage charm, plenty of history and philosophy, lots of reference material and exhaustive research. It took courage to write and publish this book. It deserves wide support and should be read carefully for the lessons and challenge it contains. The MOVE bombing must be the concern not only of Black America but all America. If an attack like this on one ethnic group goes unexposed and unchallenged, then the same thing can happen to everyone." - John H. Clarke, Professor Emeritus of African History, Dept. of Africana and Puerto Rican Studies, Hunter College "This book strikes at the nation's Achilles' heel. While the hypocritical U.S.A. wildly proclaims itself champion and guardian of world democracy, Harry rips the mask from its satanic face. This book should be read by all who seek after truth. It will surely disabuse the true of heart of their blind loyalty which leads them to march in lock step to the nazi-like big lie ... [I]f we research the true history of America's past we will come to understand that the MOVE incident is part and parcel of the American way of life ... Harry's book chronicles a savage act and a grievous sin committed in the so-called city of brotherly love. Philadelphia, home of the liberty bell, stands compromised before the entire world." - Robert F. Williams, Author, Negroes With Guns "An interpretive essay which places the MOVE tragedy in the proper perspective as an instance of the state's intolerance for difference and its awesome repressive powers. The author asks, if MOVE children can be massacred today, whose children are safe tomorrow." - John Edgar Widerman, Novelist and author, Brothers and Keepers "A brilliant brain-searing account of what may well be the darkest moment in American history-well worth remembering." - Lester Bowie "A stark and gripping exposé of the U.S. state and the military force with which it moves to suppress Black protest. Through the graphic, fast-moving account of the events of May 13, 1985 ... it presents a picture not just of one event-however horrifying-but of a whole strategy.
