Shipwreck Piece Returns to South Africa

A piece of the historic slave ship *São José*, which was recently displayed in Washington, D.C., has been returned to South Africa. The Portuguese vessel was part of the transatlantic slave trade, and this restitution is a significant event for the country. The return is largely unrelated to pressure from the White House, according to the museum that previously exhibited the 15-kilogram piece of wood.
