Show Notes
The Sao Jose timber artifact, a poignant reminder of the transatlantic slave trade, is leaving the National Museum of African American History and Culture after a decade-long stay. This thirty-three-pound timber piece, recovered from the shipwreck off Cape Town, South Africa, has been a centerpiece in the Slavery and Freedom exhibit, drawing visitors to reflect on the brutal slave trade. The artifacts return to South Africas Iziko Museums, where it originated, has sparked discussions about the timing of the change, but officials assure its due to loan terms. The museum promises the powerful story of enslavement and resilience will continue to be told, even as this piece returns home.
