Sprouts
Sprouts Radio from the Grassroots is a 30-minute weekly program featuring radio programs produced at community radio stations or by other independent producers from across the country and sometimes around the world.
This week on Sprouts, we revisit an interview with members of MOVE, the Philadelphia-based black liberation group. MOVE was in the news this month when one of its members, Debbie Africa, was granted parole after 40 years in prison.
MOVE was a communally organized group that followed a revolutionary political philosophy. In 1978, a police shootout at a MOVE compound resulted in the death of a police officer. Debbie Africa, was one of 9 MOVE members who were convicted of murder and were given life sentences.
