Their collection of skulls was amassed by Samuel George Morton, a 19th-century physician and white supremacist. A rally Thursday organized by Police Free Penn demanded that the Penn Museum repatriate skulls held by the Morton skull collection. The collection was put together by Samuel George Morton, a 19th-century physician and white supremacist.
