Lovely article about the need for the return of cultural and artistic artifacts seized during the colonial rule by unlawful means.

The article was interesting although a bit long. It featured a good amount of history and many direct quotations but was presented in a style that emphasized the writer's skill and knowledge on the issue. The main theme of the argument was on why do colonial masters say they've given up on slavery but still refuse to return the objects they took under unlawful means.
Why should Africans be deprived of their cultural heritage?
Read it. It was educational and entertaining. It also gives a brief insight on why I hate the boy scouts.
And after all no knowledge is lost.
words and more ...
