In an extraordinary move, MFA to return prized African art to wealthy donor and close gallery - The Boston Globe
The museum had sought to transfer ownership of 30 historic bronzes, originally plundered in a bloody colonial raid, to Kingdom of Benin. The donor asked they be returned to him instead
The Boston Museum of Fine Arts has apparently been trying to work with the (son of the Lehman Brothers CEO) donor of the Benin Bronzes collection to transfer ownership back to Nigeria, but instead he's taking all the statues back and they're closing the gallery entirely.

They didn't mind the Black enslaved labor that built UVA. Isn't that something? UVA couldn't have existed without Black labor and the profits of our enslavement and these clowns are saying we don't deserve to be at these institutions. We're the rightful owners, morally.
