In news from England, four antiracist activists who toppled the statue of a slave trader in Bristol in June 2020 have been cleared of criminal charges. The four activists were arrested for pulling down a statue of Edward Colston and then throwing it in the river. The activists celebrated on Wednesday after being found not guilty.
Sage Willoughby: “And this is a victory for Bristol. This is a victory for racial equality. And it’s a victory for anyone who wants to be on the right side of history. Thank you, everyone. You’re all amazing.”
