BALTIMORE, MD (WEAA) —According to Mike Africa Jr., a MOVE member, two Ivy League universities have been using the remains of two Black children killed in a police bombing for educational purposes without knowledge or consent from family members.

Eleven people were killed, including five children. More than 60 homes were destroyed.
Mike Africa Jr., grew up with the victims and shares how he remembers the young girls.
