Restitution Study Group, Inc.SupportAdvocacy
Summary: The Restitution Study Group supports the renewal of the U.S.-Nigeria cultural property agreement but urges the Committee to adopt a more inclusive framework. They argue that cultural property connected to the transatlantic slave trade, specifically the Benin Bronzes, should recognize the overlapping rights and interests of Afrodescendant communities as rights-bearing claimants.
