Statue Torn Down in Bristol to Go on Display in Museum, Still Covered in Graffiti, with Garbage and BLM Posters
The statue of 17th-century Bristol philanthropist Edward Colston, which was torn down from its plinth, vandalised, and thrown into the harbour by an angry mob of Black Lives Matter protesters in June 2020 over his links to slavery, will be put in a museum alongside paraphernalia linked to the Marxist protest movement.
