Daily News | Judge tosses opposition to Penn’s plan to rebury Black Philadelphians in Morton Collection
A Philadelphia Orphans’ Court judge on Thursday threw out opposition to Penn Museum’s petition to bury and repatriate the physical remains of Black Philadelphians held by the museum’s Morton Cranial Collection.
“I certainly understand your concern and the issues you are raising,” Woods-Skipper said to Muhammad and Monteiro. “As a judicial officer, I must follow the law.
Monteiro and Muhammad outlined their opposition and proposal to a crowd gathered outside City Hall before the hearing. Following the dismissal of the objections, the full-day hearing continued with testimony from Christopher Woods, director of the Penn Museum; Sheila Jones, operations manager at Eden Cemetery; and Jesse Williams Mapson, senior pastor at Monumental Baptist Church on 50th and Locust Streets.
