EP 68 - THE RETURN OF THE CROWN

In This Episode:

Growing up in Benin City, there was so much culture, history, and art. I grew up learning about all the beautiful artifacts created in Benin and also how a lot of them were stolen from us by the 'White Man'. This didn't happen only in the Benin Kingdom but across the whole of Africa.

So you can imagine my joy when I saw an article about an artifact being returned to Ethiopia. Could this be the beginning of an era? I think that It is about time all the stolen artifacts are returned to their rightful countries.
