The bones of at least one and possibly two Black children killed in a police bombing in 1985 have been in the custody of two universities for decades as a teaching tool and are now apparently missing.
Philadelphia police dropped a bomb from a helicopter onto a residential home occupied by members of MOVE, a Black liberation organization, on May 13, 1985, killing eleven people, including five children from the ages of 7 to 14. All members of MOVE take Africa as their surname.
It has now emerged that children s bones recovered from the scene were placed in the custody of Alan Mann, who was then a professor at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) and who analyzed the bones at the request of Philadelphia Medical Examiner s Office, according to local outlet Billy Penn, which first reported the matter.
