Het beeld van slavenhandelaar Edward Colston wordt neergehaald, krijgt een (zwarte) knie op zijn nek, wordt door de stad gesleept en eindigt in de plomp.

Edward Colston’s statue has been dumped in Bristol’s harbour. That is the closest to justice the tens of thousands of people he enslaved or killed have ever got. https://t.co/6EEwdxrh9c https://t.co/KoyrdEV7Wl

The moment a statue of slave trader Edward Colston toppled into Bristol’s harbour. ‘It’s what he deserves. I’ve been waiting all my life for this moment’ someone told me in the moments after. pic.twitter.com/6juqVrsJ6V
