DESCRIPTION:Join us for a daylong symposium reflecting on and honoring the 40th anniversary of the 1985 MOVE bombing.This day will bring together scholars\, journalists\, artists\, activists\, and cultural leaders from throughout Philadelphia to engage with questions of commemoration and collective understanding: Why is it so hard to find consensus memory of MOVE and the bombing\, and where do we as a city go from here?In 2020\, Philadelphia City Council declared May 13 as an annual day of reflection and recommitment. But how do we reflect on a story for which there is no common memory? In addition to a plenary session with activist and author Mike Africa\, Jr. and award-winning historian Heather Thompson\, the program will feature thought-provoking panel discussions exploring why it is so hard to remember the tragic event and how we think of it today.The program will conclude with an invitation to participants to join the annual procession to 6221 Osage Avenue.View the full schedule and RSVP&nbsp\;
