Insight Pt. 2: MOVE: Untangling the Tragedy - Philadelphia Community Podcast

I’m joined by two powerful voices in journalism and education — Yvonne Latty, executive producer of the new podcast MOVE: Untangling the Tragedy and director of the Logan Center for Urban Investigative Reporting at Temple University, and Linn Washington, veteran journalist and podcast host who has reported on the MOVE story for more than 50 years. Their six-part podcast, produced in collaboration with The Philadelphia Inquirer, revisits the 1985 MOVE bombing — when Philadelphia police dropped a bomb on a residential home, killing 11 people (including five children) and destroying 61 homes. It remains the only time in U.S. history that a police force bombed its own city. Through firsthand accounts, rare archival audio, and the voices of journalists, survivors, and community leaders, MOVE: Untangling the Tragedy unpacks a story that Philadelphia — and the nation — must continue to confront.

📅 On May 17th at Temple University there will be  a staged reading of Move Mocks Us All, a powerful play written by journalist Maida Odom. The reading brings the podcast’s themes to life and invites deeper reflection on the legacy of MOVE.
