Peace to the People! This week is the first of a multipart series titled MOVE: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. As you may (or may not) be aware, several former MOVE members including Mike's sister, have publicly left the organization. One request was for Mike to use his platform to share the truth about MOVE. In this series, Mike will share his experiences and as always speak nothing but his truth.
In the first part of the series, Mike recounts his first remembered experiences in MOVE. As a child, Mike always saw MOVE members as superheroes; they were strong, they stood up for themselves, and they were family. After a split from the organization in 1983, Mike and his family would move back to West Philly where the crack epidemic had hit the streets. As a child learning to adjust from the structure of MOVE to the streets would take its toll, and as a teenager Mike would make a decision that would change the course of his life from there forward.
