The Felling of Colston | Musicbed Reopen Challenge #musicbedchallenge People's Choice Award Winner
WINNER People's Choice Award at #musicbedchallenge
Chronicling the felling of the statue of Edward Colston–a 17th Century slave trader–during a Black Lives Matter protest in Bristol, England, and how this act of rebellion made waves across the UK and the World.
What does this mean for other statues and symbols of problematic historic figures? How do we remember the past without glorifying the horrific deeds perpetrated by these people?
