The National Museum of African American History and Culture is returning a timber piece from the São José-Paquete de Africa, a slave ship, to South Africa. The artifact, on display since 2016, will be replaced by a manifest listing the ships cargo. The return follows loan terms and strict cultural laws, but the museum assures the story of slavery and freedom will remain powerful.
