KWASHIORKOR

*episodes contains discussion of alleged child neglect and abuse.
MOVE has always bragged about the health/strength of the children raised in MOVE were even more exceptional because they were raised as the "pure generation" under MOVE Law - the teachings of John Africa.  This episode contrasts MOVE's own words with public reporting about children showing signs of an extremely rare condition known as kwashiorkor.  In addition to archival information about alleged neglect and abuse you will hear the first hand account of a court appointed social worker assigned to  represent the best interests of certain MOVE children in the late 1970s and then again in 1985.
