“She was the perfect verse
Over a tight beat”
- Brown Sugar
“… In the beginning, I was not a political person at all. I had no interest in the struggle. My life at the time had been such a mess and I was so unhappy with myself. One day I saw MOVE demonstrating in front of a police precinct and I was just struck. It wasn’t necessarily what they were saying but the way they were talking and these were women, powerful women. I had never seen a woman get on a bullhorn in front of all these people and the police and talk so confident and assertive. This is what drew me to them”
- Janine Africa, 2019
Janine Africa was one of 9 MOVE members who (in an effort by the city of Philadelphia to destroy the MOVE organization) was framed for the murder of a cop and imprisoned in the year 1978. They were routinely beaten, tortured, poisoned and made subject to the most inhumane living conditions all in attempt to break them.They were told that if they renounced their beliefs, they’d be released. They refused and so they remained imprisoned, enduring all manner of brutal treatment for over 40 years. As of 2019, Janine has been released and remains committed- mind, body and soul to the struggle to liberate all black and oppressed people.
On a move!
