According to an article by African writer and professor Abdourahman A. Waberi, published on the UNESCO web site in their Courier publication:

What he really said was: “I consider the death of each of these traditionalists as the burning of an unexploited cultural fund.” It was 1 December 1960, and Hampâté Bâ was then the head of Mali’s delegation at the UNESCO General Conference. Mali had just joined the Organization as an independent country. In his speech, he pleaded for the “gigantic oral monument to be saved from destruction by the deaths of traditionalists who are its only repositories [and who] are, alas, in the decline of their days.”
