Skulls once subject to racist study in Germany are laid to rest in New Orleans

Skulls of 19 Black Americans have returned to New Orleans after more than a century in Germany, where they were sent for racial research.

A memorial and jazz funeral honored 19 Black Americans, whose remains were recently repatriated from Germany where they were used for racial research in the late 1800s.
