This orientation features opening reflections on the historical origins of the Benin bronzes—crafted with metal sourced from manilla currency exchanged for captives sold into transatlantic enslavement—and welcomes His Excellency Prince Ovonramwen of the Benin Kingdom and Queen Mother Dr. Delois Blakely of the Royal Court of Harlem as honored guests. Libations poured by Queen Kalindah Leveaux Moderated by Deadria Farmer-Paellmann The Fellowship advances artistic training, historical truth, and community-supported cultural restoration. 🔗 Support the work at: www.AfroKrypto.com Learn more about the Fellows: www.theBKM.org Learn more about the Restitution Study Group: www.rsgincorp.org
