The statue of slave trader Edward Colston is to go on public display for the first time since it was toppled from its plinth a year ago and thrown into Bristol’s docks.
And the authorities behind the new presentation said they hope the temporary display at the M-Shed museum in the city centre will be a ‘starting point’ to begin a conversation about what to do next with the statue, and with how Bristol wrestles with its past as a city at the forefront of the transatlantic slave trade.
