Botswana Burial

Host Lisa Simeone talks to Tickey Pule, director of the Botswana National Museum, about the return of the remains of an unknown African man, which had been on display in a museum in Spain for over 100 years. The remains, called El Negro in Spain, were stolen from a grave in the early 1800s by two Frenchmen. Pule explains the importance of having the remains returned to Botswana for a proper reburial.
