By Joe Holden, CBS Philadelphia April 27, 2021 A major investigation is now underway after a disturbing revelation. There is outrage over the handling of human remains from the MOVE bombing. The University of Pennsylvania has retained external legal counsel to figure out why the Ivy League school's museum held onto the remains of a 12-year-old and a 14-year-old who were killed in the 1985 MOVE bombing for decades. In a series of statements, the university is apologizing to the Africa family, the remaining members of a pro-revolutionary organization that was entangled in a heated standoff with police and the city in the 1970s and 80s.
