We wound up having
meetings at a church, I think it's 35th and Baring

called for mobilizing against the city's blockade
of the MOVE headquarters in Powelton Village.

and strategies we'd used historically,
since '50s and '60s, to, um, to engage people. We literally made
a human chain, two-deep, and it was, it was...
it resonated. And it got people's attention. I believe the mayor's trying
to deny basic human rights and constitutional
rights to MOVE
