Quotes Africans have been asking for these treasures, for these incredibly valuable artefacts, since my lifetime. For my mother, the lingering pain of that war was waking up and finding that the shrines had been systematically looted. The beginnings of the revival of the people who were for so long damaged by colonialism. The restitution of African cultural heritage is ultimately about justice. Museums must confront the histories through which their collections were assembled.
