The Penn Museum has acknowledged and identified the remains of Delisha Africa, a 12-year-old girl killed in the 1985 MOVE bombing in Philadelphia.
The discovery of Delisha Africa's remains, stored for decades, highlights the ongoing pain and historical impact of the 1985 police bombing, which claimed 11 lives.
The museum's commitment to an ethical inventory of remains and centering human dignity reflects its intention to confront and remedy its institutional past.
Activist Mike Africa Jr. planned a news conference for later this month, emphasizing ongoing dialogue about the legacy and ramifications of the MOVE bombing.
