  • Colston's statue being invisible at the bottom of a river doesn't really help people learn from the mistakes of those times.

    Not if you make a big deal of it, actually make a plaque to explain what happen to the statue and another plaque near where it went overboard to symbolised what happen to the slaves during the voyager.

  • Agreed. While I'd like it to have been done differently, the end result of what I'd like to see can easily be achieved with keeping the plinth plus putting a plaque and a sign next to the harbour. You can interlink the two and use it to promote or create a larger historic walk that deals with the city's history.

    The Boston Tea Party come to mind, which was also a riot that change the course of history.
