In 1985 in Philadelphia a bomb was dropped on a residential neighborhood by the Philadelphia Police Department acting on orders given by the Philadelphia Mayor at the time W. Wilson Goode Sr. killing 6 adults and 5  children, causing a fire that spread to 60 homes in the black neighborhood literally destroying it.  The horrific act that has gone down in history as The 1985 MOVE Bombing occurred in an alleged attempt to execute a warrant against an alleged militant black separatist group called MOVE that was founded in 1972 who resided at 6221 Osage Avenue.

Almost 40 years later human remains believed to belong to 12-year-old Delisha Africa, killed in the 1985 MOVE bombing, were found at the University of Pennsylvania’s museum.

Civil rights attorneys Bakari Sellers and Daniel Hartstein — who represent Lionell Dotson, whose sister Katricia was killed in the 1985 MOVE bombing — claimed that Delisha Africa’s remains turned up “despite repeated assurances” that all the remains from the bombing were returned to families.
