Philadelphia activist Abdul-Aliy A. Muhammad began calling for the repatriation of the Morton Collection in 2019. They served as a member of Penn’s community advisory committee, established to advise the museum on a process of repatriation. In June, Penn filed a petition with Orphan’s Court for permission to rebury the original 13 Black remains at Eden Cemetery.
