Description
An account of the resource
This image of Delbert Africa's arrest gained national noteriety. Delbert Africa was a member of MOVE and was arrested as one of the "MOVE 9" in the shootout that killed Officer Ramp. Here, he strikes a pose reminiscent of Jesus on the cross as Phildelphia Police put a gun to his throat. Rightfully or not, this image helped to further portray Philadelphia as a city with unusually high levels of police brutality.

A name given to the resource
The Case of Mumia Abu-Jamal
Description
An account of the resource
While not a member of MOVE, Mumia Abu-Jamal (born Wesley Cook) was a Philadelphia native and member of the Black Panther Party. He was a critic of Philadelphia Police and their treatment of MOVE members, particularly following the arrests of the MOVE 9. In 1981, Abu-Jamal was arrested and charged with first-degree murder for the killing of Officer Daniel Faulkner. He was found guilty and sentenced to death, but the death penalty was dropped in 2011 after numerous appeals. This event, in conjunction with Officer Ramp's killing, created an unsafe environment for police officers and made further confrontations with MOVE or their supporters politically dangerous for top city officials. Abu-Jamal's arrest and conviction united MOVE in further opposition of the police and city officials. MOVE soon advocated for his release as well as the release of the MOVE 9.

Untitled (MOVE In Front Of Headquarters)
Description
An account of the resource
Members of MOVE pose in front of their Powelton Village headquarters. This photo was taken in the same year as the clash with police that left Officer James Ramp dead. The outstretched fist is a common symbol of the Black Power movement, used most frequently by the Black Panthers. While they had yet to clash with police when this photo was taken, MOVE's aggressively pro-black stance was a direct threat to the policies of the Rizzo administration. As MOVE became more vocal and more of a presence in West Philadelphia, it was only a matter of time before the city responded.

Officer Killed As Philadelphia Radicals Are Evicted
Description
An account of the resource
Despite reaching an agreement with the city about vacating the property they were using as headquarters, MOVE backed out of their end of the deal. Police arrived at MOVE's headquarters early in the morning of August 8, 1978 with the intent of evicting them from the property and serving arrest warrants for several MOVE members. For about a full minute, a firefight raged between police and MOVE. Officer James Ramp was killed, and twelve policemen and firemen sustained injuries. MOVE claimed that they were not responsible for Officer Ramp's death, and immediately began protesting to free the nine members (the so-called "MOVE 9") who were arrested and imprisoned for Officer Ramp's murder. Mayor Frank Rizzo said that MOVE was "an uncivilized foe that we were forced to deal with with civilized rules."
