Pain of Separation

On a Move. Today, Mike is joined by his mother to discuss an article she wrote in 1999 called "Memories - Pain of Separation". From her last memories of the MOVE children, to the effects she knew her incarceration was having on her own children, "Pain of Separation" is not only a reflection of one moment in time, but ever relevant today as devastating news regarding the remains of those killed in the 1985 bombing continue to come to light.

"By the time I woke up, they were all gone. I can't remember too good, but I believe, the only ones left in the house were Bert, Tom, me and Witt. I was happy in a way, cuz they wouldn't have to be there in the city to put up with them cops, but sad too because I would miss them a lot. I never imagined ever with everything we had already been through with them cops, that I'd never see most of them again. We sent them to Virginia to keep them from being hurt; when we brought them back a few years later, they were killed May 13, 1985." - Debbie Africa excerpt from "Pain of Separation"
