1985 May 13 THE PHILIDELPHIA SEIGE: In a residential section of West Philadelphia, a state police helicopter drops a bomb upon the roof of an Osage Street house, igniting a can of gasoline and causing a six alarm conflagration which kills 11 members, 4 of whom were children, of a black radical group known as MOVE, and destroys two city blocks of homes leaving some 300 people homeless. Since the arrival of MOVE in 1982 a group described as believing in anarchism and the rejection of technology, neighbors had filed numerous complaints and accusations with the police. However, no effective action was taken until an appeal for direct involvement was made to Mayor Wilson Goode who, after initial hesitation, gave in to community pressure and sent in the police, citing housing violations and unpaid utility bills.In response, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights Chairman Clarence Pendleton accuses the House subcommittee chairman of racism for repeatedly raising questions about why more blacks, minorities and women have not been appointed. Rep. Edwards says Pendleton 's statements show he is unqualified to head the commission.
