Many MOVE people who were children in 1978 now have children of their own, making the original MOVE members grandparents.

Predictions of MOVE's demise after May 13, 1985 were proved false by the organization's steady re-emergence as a visible, active entity. A quarter century since first appearing in Philadelphia, the MOVE Organization stays in touch with an international list of contacts and maintains a full schedule of speaking engagements. Ramona Africa has been invited to speak at such respected institutions as Harvard University, Radcliff, Vassar, Princeton, UCLA, Stamford, and Yale, thus fulfilling a decades-old prophecy of JOHN AFRICA. To satisfy an ever increasing demand for information about the organization Sue, Ramona and Carlos Africa embarked on a European speaking tour in February of 1996, with stops in London, Amsterdam, Brussels, and other cities. MOVE members have travelled throughout England, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, French Guyana, Canada, Cuba, etc. MOVE's activi-ties continue at a vigorous clip and the ongoing struggle for Mumia Abu-Jamal's freedom has become a major part of their work. MOVE has also begun working in solidarity with support groups for all U.S. political prisoners including Leonard Peltier, Mutulu Shakur, Marilyn Buck, Sundiata Acoli, and many others.

Government propaganda mischaracterizing MOVE as terrorists has occasionally led to speculation on the possibility of another violent confrontation. However, a factual review of past conflicts reveals that the ones to initiate violence have always been police, sheriffs, or other government agents. Invariably, MOVE's first stance in any conflict has been to put out information through demonstrations, protests, letters, interviews, etc. Only if the opposition chooses to react with less peaceful methods, will MOVE respond in kind. Whether the weapons used to attack them are fists, clubs, guns, bombs, tear gas, tape recorders, cameras, fax machines, or lap tops, MOVE members will defend themselves masterfully with the strategy of JOHN AFRICA.
