This is the On the Media Midweek podcast. I'm Brooke Gladstone. Last Friday, remains of at least one victim of the infamous 1985 move bombing were turned over to a Philadelphia funeral home, capping more than a week of confusion and reopened wounds.

The Terry funeral home says it picked up the remains at the Princeton home of Professor Alan Mann.

The bones had been in the possession of the University of Pennsylvania and Princeton University.

The City Medical Examiner's Office gave the bones to Penn in 1985 with the hope of identifying them.

Penn said it was not able to, but the bones were still used in anthropology classes.

Not only did they kill my children, kill my sisters and brothers, but they have desecrated

what they say are their remains, defiled them and had them hidden away on exhibit as a learning tool for their students.

Move members claimed the remains were those of 14-year-old tree Africa and 12-year-old Delicia Africa,

among the five children and six adults killed 36 years ago this month.

They died after an anti-government, pro-environment, black liberation group called Move,

defied arrest warrants and barricaded themselves in a West Philadelphia row house.

Early in the morning, on May 13, 1985, after a standoff with some 500 law enforcement

officers, move members began shooting, and the hundreds of police gathered outside the home

returned fire.

It sounds automatic fire, Steve. There's quite a bit of it.

Over the next 90 minutes, the police responded with 10,000 rounds of ammunition.

There's more gunfire right now. We're going to crouch down.

Police are unloading Winchester cartridge shells from the back of a highway patrol car.

Later in the afternoon, frustrated that his police had failed to evict the group,

the mayor of Philadelphia himself gave the police the go-ahead to drop C-4 explosives onto the house.

State police helicopter drops it. There is the explosion. As you can see, a very dramatic

explosion that really rips into the moved compound. Some of these homes start burning.
