Institutions in the US, UK & France say they'll return artworks looted during colonialism

During colonialism artworks that had been protected in Africa for centuries were looted.
To this day, many of them are held by museums and universities in western countries.
But in recent months, institutions in the US, UK and France have said that they will return them.
