Philadelphia City Council Formally Apologizes for 1985 Police Bombing That Killed 11
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Philadelphia City Council has formally apologized for the 1985
police bombing of the radical, Black liberation, anti-police-brutality
group MOVE, which killed six adults and five children and destroyed over
60 homes. The City Council resolution acknowledges "the fundamental
injustice, cruelty, brutality, and inhumanity of the MOVE Bombing." May
13, the anniversary of the massacre, will be established as an annual
day of "observation, reflection and recommitment."
