Relatedly: exactly a week before
Rosa’s story is published, the museum hosts a “skull drawing workshop” with remains not currently on display:

Meanwhile, from the museum’s own social media (their thread includes images of human remains):

lol fb failed this assignment by just leaving the question blank 😩—can Bluesky do any better? I know that such books exist--I've seen one! Just dunno where to find them...

I'd like to offer some Luigi content in the midst of a bleak week.
This comes with questions:
1. Is this Luigi?
(the pic was taken at Penn in Dec 2018, while he was a student there)
If it is him...let's talk about question 2 (in reply)

Rachel Watkins...very disappointed. She's either a liar or doesn't bother to be informed about her work, because she just said this to an NPR podcast www.nhpr.org/environment/...
(To clarify: the museum has called the cops on Finding Ceremony. That's been their engagement with us.)

Philadelphia City Councilmember Jamie Gauthier at this morning's press conference re: latest announcement by @upenn.bsky.social that Penn Museum has the remains of a second child murdered in the 1985 MOVE bombing--"they need to realize that this is not an academic project":

Here is the handout from yesterday’s #FindingCeremony Roundtable at #AAA2024Tampa “Ceding Disciplinary Control:
Anthropological Praxis and Descendant Community Organizing for the
Return of Ancestral Remains at the Penn Museum“:

2. Slides from my Keynote at Johns Hopkins University and @redemmas.org, with color-coded numbers to show what's visible on recently found 2014 Flickr pics: Janet Monge displays bones of Katricia (comp image from 2019 Coursera video), Delisha, & other MOVE remains to the public at Penn Museum:

I'm giving a Keynote Lecture 4:30pm Friday, about faculty accountability re: human remains in universities, using the actions & inactions of Penn faculty regarding the Morton Cranial Collection & the MOVE remains as a case study.

@redemmas.org Baltimore & on Zoom (www.skeletonsintheacademy.com )

Short summary:
It contextualizes Janet Monge's use of the MOVE remains as props in her public teaching video for Princeton within the centuries-long history of striping the Black and brown dead of their humanity by turning them into data.

Here's the abstract (full text in this thread):
