Edward Colston, then and now

4 years ago

In 2018, scultpor Will Coles and I committed what seemed at the time like a radical act of vandalism on the sculpture of the racist mass murderer Edward Colston

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
