Another tragic chapter in the legacy of the 1985 MOVE bombing has surfaced, as the remains of a child victim were recently discovered at the Penn Museum.
The bombing, carried out by the city of Philadelphia against the Black liberation organization MOVE, killed 11 people, including five children. City officials at the time justified their actions by citing complaints and labeling the group a security threat.
This week’s discovery of remains belonging to a child has caused immense pain for the victim’s family, particularly for Janet Africa.
“I am hurt to the bone as my whole family is,” Janet Africa told Action News.
