Belgium Congo Lumumba’s Tooth

FILE - In this Feb. 11, 1961 file photo, pickets carrying anti-Belgian and pro- Patrice Lumumba placards demonstrate after he disappeared in Congo, and was later found to have been assassinated, on West 51st Street outside a building housing a Belgian consular office and the Associated Press in New York. The family of Congolese independence icon Patrice Lumumba will soon receive the only known remains of the assassinated leader, a tooth removed after his death by a Belgium man whose family apparently held on to it for nearly 60 years, the federal prosecutor's office in Belgium announced on Thursday, Sept. 10, 2020.
