About the Book

In this "Petition for Writ of Certiorari," Deadria Farmer-Paellmann and the Restitution Study Group challenge the Smithsonian Institution's transfer of 29 Benin Bronzes to Nigeria in October 2022, highlighting significant legal and ethical implications. This compelling narrative documents their battle to prevent the transfer, arguing that the Smithsonian, as a trustee for the American public, should not act without a public hearing. The petition underscores the historical and cultural significance of the bronzes to the descendants of enslaved Africans and calls for their retention in the U.S. as part of the collective heritage. This book provides a detailed account of the legal proceedings, historical context, and the ongoing struggle for justice and recognition of African American cultural heritage. It includes a Flowcode scan to screen the Cannes 2023 International Cellphone Cinema Showcase Award winning film: "They Belong to All of Us -- The Benin Bronze Slave Trade Story," directed by Tylon "Usavior" Washington, written and narrated by Deadria Farmer-Paellmann.
