LMU Law and Art History Alumni Secure Landmark Repatriation of an Enslaved American’s Artwork
George C. Fatheree III J.D. ’07, P ’28, LMU board member and graduate of Loyola Law School’s JD evening program, enlisted art history alumnus Ryan Maroun ’25 to conduct research for the repatriation of an enslaved artist’s artwork. This fall, their effort saw its first victory when The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA) announced a historic agreement: After more than a century, the museum has restored rightful ownership of two vessels to the descendants of David Drake, also known as Dave the Potter.
