During UNESCO’s Africa Week, a dynamic program of conferences, exhibitions, and cultural events explored the theme “Global Solidarity for the Restitution and Restoration of African Heritage through Culture, Education, and Science.”
Speaking from UNESCO Headquarters, Liberia’s Special Envoy for Cultural and Heritage Diplomacy, Ambassador Lorenzo Llewellyn Witherspoon, urged the international community to restore and celebrate African heritage through UNESCO’s work.
“It is essential to emphasize that Africa’s significant, previously overlooked contributions were brought to the forefront by UNESCO’s groundbreaking work, the General History of Africa.”
