Protesters in Bristol started rolling the statue of slave trader Edward Colston down the harbor towards the Avon river.
Once they found some rope, the protesters started dragging slave trader Edward Colston’s statue toward the Avon River.
Tied, bound, moved against his will, the statue of slave trader Edward Colston’s was thrown into the river.
A fitting end for a statue of the man who tossed thousands of enslaved Africans who died during the middle passage into the Atlantic.
