I really appreciate the discussion in the podcast about reparations, repatriation, and restitutions.  When it comes to artifacts, I feel like all three options deserve to be considered.  I appreciate the idea that not all artifacts should be returned because they tell the story of the lives, beliefs, and accomplishments of people from African countries, and that should be shared with the world.

I also think about how African countries could gain monetarily by the return of many of their artifacts. Museums are often the reason why many people visit a place.  More African countries would have more reason to become destinations for tourists and the stories have the possibility of feeling more authentic because they would be in the places that they were produced.
