MOVE, originally the Christian Movement for Life, is a communal organization that advocates for nature laws and natural living, founded in 1972 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, by John Africa (born Vincent Leaphart). The name, styled in all capital letters, is not an acronym. MOVE lived in a communal setting in West Philadelphia, abiding by philosophies of anarcho-primitivism. The group combined revolutionary ideology, similar to that of the Black Panthers, with work for animal rights. MOVE is particularly known for two major conflicts with the Philadelphia Police Department (PPD). In 1978, a standoff resulted in the death of one police officer and injuries to 16 officers and firefighters, as well as members of the MOVE organization. Nine members were convicted of killing the officer and each received prison sentences of 30 to 100 years. In 1985, another firefight ended when a police helicopter dropped two bombs onto the roof of the MOVE compound, a townhouse located at 6221 Osage Avenue. The resulting fire killed six MOVE members and five of their children, and destroyed 65 houses in the neighborhood.The police bombing was strongly condemned. The MOVE survivors later filed a civil suit against the City of Philadelphia and the PPD and were awarded $1.5 million in a 1996 settlement (roughly equivalent to $2.8 million in 2022). Other residents displaced by the destruction of the bombing filed a civil suit against the city and in 2005 were awarded $12.83 million (roughly equivalent to $19 million in 2022) in damages in a jury trial.

The 1985 MOVE bombing was the destruction by the Philadelphia Police Department of 61 residential homes in the West Philadelphia Osage Neighborhood during a standoff and firefight. One of the residential homes was occupied by the MOVE organization. Two explosive devices were dropped by a police helicopter on a bunker-like cubicle on the roof of the house, causing a fire which the Philadelphia Fire Department subsequently let burn out of control, destroying 61 previously evacuated neighbouring houses over two city blocks, and leaving 250 people homeless. Six adults and five children in the MOVE compound died in the incident, with one adult and one child surviving. A lawsuit in federal court found that the city used excessive force and violated constitutional rights against unreasonable search and seizure.

On October 26, 2020, Walter Wallace Jr., a 27-year-old African-American man, was shot by Philadelphia police officers Sean Matarazzo and Thomas Munz in Cobbs Creek, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The two officers arrived in the area to respond to a domestic dispute. When they arrived, Wallace walked out of his house carrying a knife. The two officers backed away while telling him to drop the knife shortly before they each fired several rounds at Wallace, hitting him in the shoulder and chest. He later died from his wounds in the hospital. Wallace's family stated that Wallace was having a mental health crisis. Wallace's killing gained attention after a cellphone video of the incident was posted to social media platforms, where it went viral. Protests against the killing occurred throughout Philadelphia in late October. Peaceful protests took place, as well as several protests which escalated into violence and looting, leading to arrests, injuries to police and protesters, deployment of the Pennsylvania National Guard, and a citywide curfew.

In the late evening of January 7, 2016, in a sudden attack with no precipitating event, Edward Archer rushed towards and shot Philadelphia police officer Jesse Hartnett while he drove his patrol car, inserting the gun into the window of the car and firing at point blank range. Despite being shot multiple times in the left arm, Hartnett was able to exit his car and shoot the fleeing suspect, Edward Archer. Later in the hospital, Archer claimed he pledged allegiance to ISIS. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) investigated the shooting as a terrorist attack. The case is widely cited in scholarly work on lone wolf terrorism, as in example of an individual who carries out an act of terrorism without having had actual contact with terrorist groups or individuals. Archer was convicted of the attempted murder of Officer Hartnett in January 2018. He was sentenced to between 48.5 and 97 years behind bars.

Sellers Hall, completed in 1684, is one of the oldest buildings in Pennsylvania and is the ancestral home of the Sellers family of scientists and engineers.Samuel Sellers (1655-1732) arrived in Philadelphia in 1682, the first year of Penn's colony. A young man, he was eager to marry, which explains the very early date of the house. He married Anna Gibbons (1655-1743) on August 13, 1684, and moved into Sellers Hall. The Sellers' declaration of intention to marry is the first entry in the minutes of Darby meeting. Samuel Sellers brought with him from Derbyshire in England the technology for making and weaving wire. This technology, and his mills on Cobbs Creek in Upper Darby, became the basis for a series of inventions and mechanical innovations that would lead to the creation of the early Pennsylvania textile industry at Cardington, the North American paper-making industry, and the fire-hose, fire-engine, and locomotive-making industries in Pennsylvania. Leading American manufacturers such as the Edgemoor Iron company, Midvale Steel, and William Sellers & Company grew out of enterprises conceived and pursued from Sellers Hall.As the focus of Sellers family activities, Sellers Hall also played a significant role in the political and social life of the United States. John Sellers of Sellers Hall (1728-1804) was among the founders of the American Philosophical Society, one of the framers of the Pennsylvania Constitution of 1790. and represented Delaware County in Pennsylvania's first Senate. With David Rittenhouse (1732-1796), he served on the Scientific Committee that observed the transit of Venus on the third of June, 1769.Sellers Hall's large farm and outbuildings became a significant step on the Underground Railroad, clandestinely coordinated through the Concord Quarterly Meeting, and the monthly meetings in Concord, Darby, and Wilmington, Delaware. Nathan Sellers (1751-1830) and David Sellers (1757-1813) were among the founders of the Pennsylvania Society for the Abolition of Slavery in 1789 and Samuel Sellers (1810-1888), Nathan Sellers, Jr. (1788-1867), and John Sellers, Jr. (1762-1847) founded the Upper Darby Abolition Society in 1830. Close relatives such as Thomas Garrett (1789-1871) (whose brother married Abigail Sellers and whose son married Frances Sellers) and Abraham Pennock (1786-1868) (who married Elizabeth Sellers) conducted escaping slaves through Sellers Hall. The historians Cope and Ashmead describe as many as thirty persons secreted in the spacious Sellers barns, where they were cared for by George Sellers (1768-1853) and his family, before moving on in small squads and detachments to their next place of refuge. The painter Charles Willson Peale, (1741-1827) who voted for the abolition of slavery as a member of the Pennsylvania Assembly in 1780, was a frequent visitor of Sellers Hall. His distant view of Sellers Hall (1818) is an early example of American landscape painting. Peale's daughter, Sophonisba (1786-1859), married Coleman Sellers (1781-1834), and Peale's granddaughter, the landscape painter Anna Sellers (1824-1905), lived at Sellers Hall.In 1922 Sellers Hall became the property of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, used first as St. Alice's Church, then as the St. Alice Rectory, and finally as the St. Alice Library. The Friends of Sellers Hall began the restoration of Sellers Hall in 2010 and in 2016 acquired Sellers Hall, which was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.
