In 2018 it took an act of vandalism for me & MrWillColes to provide basic facts on #EdwardColston
We did what auths failed to
w plaque noting him as slave trader & mass murderer
A restrained act of protest that largely fell on deaf ears
How far things have come 🙌🏽

İngiltere’nin Bristol kentindeki protestolarda yıkılan köle tüccarı Edward Colston’un heykelinin yeri çok zaman geçmeden doldu. Sanatçı Marc Quinn, yıkılan heykelin yerine Black Lives Matter protestocusunun heykelini yerleştirdi. bit.ly/2DDMU94 #marcquinn #EdwardColston

Outrageous! The protesters who pulled down the #EdwardColston statue in Bristol have got off, because they claimed the statue was a “hate crime” - what, they get to decide? Madness! Attached is the actual definition of criminal damage.
Amazing! 🤩 Bristol's M Shed museum has discovered an 1895 magazine inside the recovered #EdwardColston statue, including handwritten names of those who erected it. Tell me again how this act 'destroyed history.' Quite the opposite.
How some conservatives seem to think history works.
