Magnificent mural of Jen Reid painted on Stokes Croft
By Martin Booth, Thursday Apr 1, 2021
Jen Reid only stood for a few seconds on the empty Colston plinth on the day the statue was toppled. But a new mural on Stokes Croft has permanently captured that brief moment in time.
Reid’s husband Alasdair Doggart took two photographs of her on top of the plinth with her fist in the air in a Black Power salute.
One of these photos had her shouting something to the crowd behind her but the other caught the imagination of people around the world when he posted it on Instagram.
