After his travels on the American continent, Glave wanted to go back to Africa, this time to report on the slave trade.
With Stanley's help, he managed to convince "The Century Magazine" to fund the expedition for him.
On 25 June 1893, Glave left London.
His route began on the east coast of Africa at the Rovuma estuary.
Glave managed to find the so-called "Livingstone Tree" on Lake Bangweulu, the tree under which the heart of David Livingstone is supposed to have been buried.
Via the Congo, he reached Lukolela station, which he had built years earlier.
He collected material for a report on the cruel conditions under Belgian rule.
However, this was only published after his death, because he died on 12 May 1895 in the Congolese port city of Matadi.
Glave's writings on conditions in the Congo were well-cited by contemporary writers.
Poet Richard Watson Gilder wrote of his death, "Hero and martyr of humanity, // ⁠Dead yesterday on Afric's shore of doom!"
His account of the Congo was discussed at length by Arthur Conan Doyle in his pamphlet "The Crime of the Congo" (1909), and quoted by W. E. B.
Du Bois in his memoir "Darkwater" (1920), amongst others.

William Henry Whitfeld
William Henry Whitfeld (15 October 1856, Ashford, Kent – 1 December 1915) was an English mathematician, leading expert on bridge and whist, and card editor for "The Field".
He is known as the poser of the Whitfeld Six problem in double dummy bridge.
After graduating from Chatham House Grammar School, Whitfeld matriculated in 1876 at Trinity College, Cambridge.
He graduated there in 1880 with B.A.
as twelfth wrangler in the Mathematical Tripos and in 1884 with M.A.
For several years he was a tutor and lecturer at Cavendish College, Cambridge.
In 1880 he published some double-dummy problems in whist in "The Cambridge Review: A Journal of University Life and Thought" (an undergraduates' journal founded in 1879).
His famous problem now known as "Whitfeld Six" was published in the London magazine "The Field" in the January 31st 1885 issue.
Whitfeld's whist problems are related to the mathematics of nested balanced incomplete block designs.
He wrote the article "Bridge" for the 11th edition of the "Encyclopaedia Britannica".
He also wrote a 6-page essay entitled "Probabilities" for the 1902 book "Principles and Practice of Whist".

Vila Velha Theater
The Vila Velha Theater (), also known simply as "Vila", is a performing arts center in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil.
The theater was constructed in 1964 and is located on Avenida Sete, at the west of the 19th-century Neoclassical public area, the Passeio Público.
The Vila Velha Theater is based in the "Teatro dos Novos Society" (, STN), the first professional theater group dating to the 1950s.
The group was led by led by João Augusto de Azevedo (1928-1979), a professor at the Federal University of Bahia.
A group of dissident students, which consisted of Echio Reis, Sônia Robatto, Carlos Petrovich, Othon Bastos, Thereza Sá, and Carmem Bittencourt, led the creation of a permanent theater.
The state government of Bahia granted a space in the Public Promenade in 1961 for the construction of the new theater.
The premiere show of the theater was title "Nós, Por Exemplo" ("We, For Example") included Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Tom Ze, Gal Costa, and Maria Bethânia.
The theater was a center of the 1960s counterculture movement, Tropicália, and cultural opposition to the Military dictatorship in Brazil (1964-1985).
Vila hosted social protest events in the 1970s.
The theater entered into a period of decline with the death of João Augusto in 1979.
A revitalization of the theater began in 1994 under the Sol Movimento da Cena, a non-profit organization.
A large-scale renovation of the theater building followed in 1998.
The theater was designed by the architect Silvio Robatto (1935-2008) and built in the Modern style.
The style is in stark contrast to the numerous 19th century Neoclassical structures of the Passeio Publico, and of the Palácio da Aclamação.
The Vila Velha Theater has held numerous performance groups in permanent residence.
They include, at different time periods, the Companhia Teatro dos Novos, an experimental theater company; the Bando de Teatro Olodum, an Afro-Brazilian theater group; Viladança, contemporary dance group; Vilavox, Vila choir; Novos Novos, a children's theater group; the COATO Coletivo; and the Revista Barril.
1975 Māori land march
The Māori Land March of 1975, arguably New Zealand's most notable "hikoi", was a protest movement led by the group Te Rōpū Matakite ("Those with Foresight") created by Maori leader Whina Cooper.
The march started in Northland on September 14, travelling the length of the North Island arriving in Wellington on October 13 1975.
In 1953, the government under Prime Minister Sidney Holland forced the Maori Affairs Act to use so-called unproductive Māori land.
Anyone who wanted could now report unused land to the "Māori Land Court" and apply to borrow the land through an appointed trustee.
The Maori Affairs Amendment Act 1967 introduced compulsory conversion of Māori freehold land with four or fewer owners into general land.
It increased the powers of the Maori Trustee to compulsorily acquire and sell so-called uneconomic interests in Māori land.
Māori worried that the law would result in further alienation of what land remained.
As the protests increased, the Māori realized that the "New Zealand Māori Council" , which had existed since 1962, and the Māori Women’s Welfare League, founded in 1951, were not strong enough to represent their rights and political demands as their previous advocacy groups.
In early March 1975, a "Hui" (congregation) was called at Te Puea Marae in Mangere, with 79-year-old Whina Cooper present .
Cooper had earned much recognition and respect over the many years of her social and political engagement among the Māori and was one of the few women in the Māori community recognized as a leader.
The idea of a ‘Maori Land March’ from Te Hapua in the far north to Parliament was discussed.
The aim would be to dramatise the entire package of Maori demands and aspirations which had yet to be addressed.
The march would focus on the most iconic element of Maori losses and hopes: the land.
The planned land march would combine the forces of Nga Tamatoa ("The Young Warriors") type radicalism with the wishes and protocols of traditionalist elders, attracting the support of Maori from both urban areas and rural Marae throughout the country.
The march was to be focused on the ‘twin themes of landlessness and cultural loss’.
The following four months were used for planning and fundraising.
In August all preparations were made and support and accommodation provided at the various marae .
Fifty marchers left Te Hāpua in the far north on 14 September for the 1000-km walk to Wellington.
Led by 79-year-old Cooper, the hīkoi quickly grew in strength.
As it approached towns and cities, local people joined to offer moral support.
The marchers stopped overnight at different Marae, on which Cooper led discussions about the purpose of the march.
Leaflets were distributed explaining why the march was required titled "'Why We March".'
The march, accompanied by two trucks and a bus, led in 29 days from Te Hapua; Kaitaia; Mangamuka; Otiria; Hikurangi; Waipu; Wellsford; Orewa; Auckland; Ngaruawahia; Kihikihi; Te Kuiti; Taumarunui; Raetihi; Whanganui; Ratana; Palmerston North; Shannon, New Zealand; Otaki, New Zealand; Porirua to Wellington.
Upon arriving at Parliament, Whina Cooper presented a petition signed by 60,000 people from around New Zealand to Prime Minister Bill Rowling.
The petition called for an end to monocultural land laws which excluded Māori cultural values, and asked for the ability to establish legitimate communal ownership of land within iwi.
The hikoi represented a watershed moment in the burgeoning Māori cultural renaissance of the 1970s.
It brought unprecedented levels of public attention to the issue of alienation of Māori land, and established a method of protest that was repeatedly reused in the following decades, such as the occupation of the land at Bastion Point.
This action brought treaty issues to public attention more strongly than at any time since the 19th century.
The march was documented in "Te Matakite o Aotearoa - The Māori Land March" a film available via New Zealand on Screen.
