1981 Marble Scandal — Britain Must Give Them Back

The 1981 Marble Scandal protest in London.

Two Greek protesters in black balaclavas climbed a scaffolding platform and hung a banner:

‘BRITAIN MUST GIVE THE PARTHENON MARBLES BACK TO GREECE’

The banner hung over the Thames against a backdrop of London skyscrapers. 40+ years later, the marbles are still in the British Museum.

Some fights don’t end.
