*cw: profanity and death of children
It's hard to believe that an organization like MOVE, which preaches about natural foods and healthy living, could be responsible for the neglect and abuse suffered by its children. In this episode we share exclusive investigative information about Shaeida "She She" Hollaway, who disappeared from the group's care in 1978 at the age of five. Through in-depth research, we learn about MOVE's secretive practices that made it challenging for authorities to locate and safeguard the children's welfare. This eye-opening episode details the group's obsession with isolation and privacy in order to conceal it's true nature, leading to catastrophic consequences for its members, most particularly the dozens of children who died, went missing or suffered decades of abuse.  . 

Where is SHAEIDA HOLLAWAY? 
What happened to her in MOVE?
Will MOVE answer questions about SHAEIDA?  If not, what could they be hiding?

*explicit: child abuse, animal abuse and racial slurs
MOVE wants the public to see them as a black liberation group and so Ria Africa has been conveniently erased from their current narrative which is why we made this entire episode all about the white rich girl named Suzy who became Sue Africa and then Ria  Africa.  For decades Ria has used the power given to her by MOVE founder Vincent Leaphart and then 2nd leader Alberta Wicker to abuse black children while saying she herself was not white and then Alberta saying she was white and  not black.  And then there is the whole thing about the white cult within the MOVE cult and the Hollywood director who fan girls over MOVE's cult fashion icon RIA.

Mumia Abu Jamal is mostly known to the world as a former black panther, former radio journalist and for the last 41 years as a convicted murderer who had been sentenced to death but now is serving life in prison without parole.  What is less known about Mumia Abu Jamal is his long history with MOVE before he shoots Officer Daniel Faulkner on December 9, 1981 and that Mumia's lead publicist "handler" Pam Africa is also the Minister of Confrontation for MOVE.  Utilizing an audio cassette exclusivey obtained by the podcast this episode examines the undeniable 40+ year connections between MOVE, Mumia Abu Jamal and murdered ex-MOVE member John Gilbride.  Mumia and MOVE are one in the same thing, there is no halfsies or casual relationships that span 45 years like Mumia Abu Jamal aka Wesley Cook.   This episode will leave you with questions that the podcast could not get answered after repeatedly reaching out to Mumia and his lawyers/publicists.

This episode examines the real man behind THE COORDINATOR of MOVE, Vincent Leaphart, the leader and creator of the group who gave himself the name of JOHN AFRICA and the title of THE COORDINATOR.   Vincent Leaphart, like most cult leaders, put his followers on the front line of his "revolution" and they certainly paid the price with their freedom and in some cases their lives.

MOVE claims that their "organization" was created by one man, a black man named Vincent Leaphart.  Vincent did not create the MOVE cult by himself, he had a lot of help from a white graduate student named Donald Glassey who then escaped and became a government informant in order to stop Vincent's bomb plot.

Every murder investigation looks at motive - why does someone want someone else dead?  Common motives are jealousy and money.  One of the core secrets about MOVE is the source of their money and that would be a something that John Gilbride would have been privy to and so maybe MOVE vs. John Gilbride is about more than child custody.  .

On the night John Gilbride was murdered, September 26th 2002, Alberta directed that there was to be a MOVE meeting held at house in New Jersey owned by a longtime MOVE member that has been flying under the radar for decades.  This MOVE member Gary claims to have known MOVE founder Vincent Leaphart and definitely knew John Gilbride.  With all of the MOVE supporters at Gary's then only MOVE members know the alibis of MOVE members that night.

6 weeks before JOHN GILBRIDE is shot dead, he is awarded the unsupervised visitation with his 6 year old son Zackary that has been fought in the Family Court of Philadelphia event hough John, Alberta and Zackary all live in New Jersey.  This final order by the Judge crosses a red line for John's ex-wife, the leader of MOVE (alleged to by former members to be a cult).  It is said that Alberta considers the court order to be a personal defeat and a direct attack on MOVE and so under her leadership, MOVE goes into full confrontation mode and the city of Philadelphia is having a terrifying deja vu of May 13, 1985.

*CONTENT WARNING -  domestic abuse/violence and homophobic slurs. 
John Gilbride was a victim of cultic abuse and control inside of MOVE and according to Mario Hardy (formerly Mario Africa) John was also a battered husband who finally escaped MOVE only to resurface and take Alberta to court which was seen as an act of war against MOVE.  This is the first time former MOVE member MARIO AFRICA has ever told this story because he himself has feared MOVE retaliation and disconnection from his two children born into MOVE.

No one joins a cult. 17 year old John Gilbride gets lured into MOVE in the summer of 1985 after the deadly confrontation with police that resulted in a fire that destroyed 61 homes and took the lives of 6 adult MOVE members and 5 children who were inside MOVE headquarters on May 13, 1985.   It would be years later when John's parents even discover that he has become a MOVE member which prompts them to seek out cult interventionists in the hopes of getting John to leave MOVE before it is too late.
