S20 "The Africas VS. America" E6: Hellfire

In 1983, the City of Philadelphia elects its first Black mayor as
successor to Frank Rizzo. Woodrow Wilson Goode inherits Rizzo’s
fight against MOVE, but he also represents a moment of hope for
Black Philadelphians who believe his election could be a
harbinger of progress for a city beset with racial strife.
Instead, Mayor Goode’s administration unleashes a torrent of
violence never before seen in American history in an effort to
neutralize MOVE once and for all.
