Black Lives Matter Statue Removed in Britain
Officials in the British city of Bristol removed a statue of a Black Lives Matter activist that was installed on a plinth once occupied by a statue of a slave trader, Thursday, July 16.

Colston was a trader who made a fortune transporting enslaved Africans across the Atlantic to the Americas on Bristol-based ships. His money funded schools and charities in Bristol, 195 kilometers southwest of London.
The toppling of his statue was part of worldwide protests of racism and slavery sparked by the May death of an African American man, George Floyd, in police custody in Minneapolis.
