NEED-TO-READ Some Skulls at Penn Museum May Belong to Enslaved People – A new investigation into skulls held by the Penn Museum at the University of Pennsylvania found that dozens were taken from burial grounds used by the Philadelphia Almshouse, which later became a hospital. The report does not rule out that some of these remains are from people who were formerly enslaved, although it says it is “highly unlikely.” Meanwhile, the museum says it is continuing to take steps to repatriate and rebury dozens of other skulls in the collection that were found to be remains of enslaved people from Cuba.
