Delbert Africa of the MOVE 9 just passed. One of the last to be freed, Del came home in January after spending 42 years in jail stemming from the ’78 West Philly standoff. I had the pleasure of meeting him in March; he was overwhelmed w/the feeling of finally being home & free. pic.twitter.com/vbjuWGcTH4

I was at Delberts homecoming with my friends. He was so happy, and quite. Soaking everything and ever face in.
