John F Street
Mayor of Philadelphia
By Andrew Stevens, Deputy Editor12 March 2006: Elected in 1999 and again in 2003, Philadelphia’s Mayor John F. Street carries with him a work ethic derived from his impoverished childhood. Though dubbed one of America’s worst mayors by Time Magazine in 2005, Street has participated in Democrat-led turnaround of the city over several decades as both city council president and mayor. Having provided jobs, regenerated neighbourhoods and halted educational decline, Street now sees the internet as making for a more prosperous Philadelphia.

MOVE or the MOVE Organization (though the name is not an acronym, it is spelled by followers in capital letters) is a Philadelphia-based group founded by charismatic leader John Africa. MOVE was described by CNN as "a loose-knit, mostly black group whose members all adopted the surname Africa, advocated a "back-to-nature" lifestyle and preached against technology."[1] It has had notable confrontations with the Philadelphia Police Department in 1978 and later in 1985. During the latter event, the police dropped a bomb on MOVE headquarters, resulting in multiple deaths of MOVE members.
