Then the teacher explains the lasting impact of the trans Atlantic slave trade had on the Benin Kingdom and Nigeria today.
The latter part of the lesson is about the loss of artifacts and culture caused by the slave trade and questions-should the artifacts in the European museums give them back to their home lands? There is a newspaper task where students research and write about an artifact that has or should be returned in the last 5 years.
