3. To remove a statue is not to "erase history". On the contrary, statues themselves can be acts of historical erasure. The Colston Statue, for example, did not mention his role in the slave trade. It constructed a history from which slavery was written out and cast it in bronze.

Gladstone played a significant part in this - he actually inherited a share of his father's plantation ..
Some other facts on the abolition of slavery. The final point that the slave-owners not the enslaved were compensated is especially striking.

Why was this statue still up in the first place? @HistoricEngland needs to rethink their listings pronto. Not acceptable to protect and keep displaying this kind of heritage. #edwardcolston #bristol #historicengland
