A slave in the 1840s in the US created a bunch of paintings which have become valuable today. They're owned by the white descendants of the master who owned the slave at the time because they've been passed down from generation to generation. They now make money from them by touring with them through the country. However, now the descendants of the family of the slave who painted them are suing to get them back, claiming to be the rightful owners because their ancestor painted them and would have been the rightful owner if he had enjoyed the rights he deserved at the time. The white family claims to be the rightful owner because they inherited them and preserved them over the years and made them valuable by publicizing them.
Who should get the paintings?
This was an episode of LA Law, btw:
