Edward Colston

Edward Colston was a historical figure who had a statue in Bristol. In 2020, the statue was torn down and dumbed into the river by protesters in response to the murder of George Floyd. Lucy Wilson and Hobo Kostinen watched mobile phone footage of the dismantling.

Hobo and his mother believed that the protesters had no business tearing down public property. Lucy acknowledged that Hobo may have been right, but noted that Colston could not have been a good man to attract that kind of attention. (PROSE: 8.46)
