Conclusion

Abstract

This concluding chapter discusses the funerals of John Africa and Frank Africa and updates the history of MOVE to the present. MOVE’s focus today is on freeing the remaining incarcerated MOVE people. MOVE maintains an international network of supporters—numbering, the author estimates, in the thousands. Many of these supporters advocate for the release of the MOVE 9 and of Mumia Abu-Jamal, whose writings on John Africa, MOVE, and his own experience as the world’s most famous death-row inmate have brought MOVE’s story to a wider audience. MOVE people maintain a headquarters near Clark Park in a pair of homes they bought using funds they won from their lawsuit against the city.
