Bristol: A tale of two statues

Bristol: A tale of two statues

By The Times

This week, statues have fallen like dominoes around the world, and a new discussion about the people commemorated in our public spaces has begun. We go back to Bristol where the week's events started, and learn why Colston's legacy is still so pervasive in the city. We also hear of a campaign to replace Colston with a statue of some very different figures from the city's past.


Guests: 

Marvin Rees, Mayor of Bristol

Will Humphries, Southwest correspondent for The Times

Keri Andriana, granddaughter of civil rights campaigner Roy Hackett


Host: 

Manveen Rana


Clips:
