Mayor Rizzo and Police Commissioner Rizzo would have known how to deal with this “Africa” family before the situation got to the point where it was in ‘85.
During my freshman year of college, my university allowed “Jamala Africa” to come indoctrinate all the students taking freshman English... obviously, the indoctrination didn’t take in me. It was, however, the first time I ever heard of her buddy, Mumia Abu Jamal.
Mumia was not a member, but he associated closely with them as a “journalist” who was friendly to their cause.
This is my favorite news story of all time - I remember listening to it unfold, and it just kept getting better and better.
RIP, Officer Faulkner.
If I recall correctly, his widow has never stopped fighting to keep her husband’s killer behind bars.
I was there is a 16-year-old kid out of lower Merion high school
It was shocking as the day is long as the black mayor Wilson good dropped an incendiary device on a house and then firefighter sticker and let the whole damn thing burned to the ground
we were singing the song “
burning down the house” by the talking heads
the entire time
I do believe we were a bit stoned and had quite a few beers as well
Then we went to Mann music Center afterwards and watch some concert And tried to forget what we saw
"The Roof...The Roof....The Roof is on fire...."
As I recall the City Manager—Leo Brooks—ended up taking the heat for the mayor. Brooks was a retired Army two-star. His son just retired from the Army as a four-star.
