A event held at PRSC on Wednesday 13th April. The event starts at 19:00.
The fall of the Colston statue on 7th June 2020 can be seen as the culmination of 100yrs of campaigning against his city centre presence, which had intensified in the last decade, and intersected on that famous day. Whilst many individuals & institutions suddenly rushed to disown him, and the impact of the toppling rippled much further away than just in Bristol, that wasn't the end of it! Tory ministers, right-wing media, Labour politicians, the CPS and the police launched a campaign of persecution - and those persecuted needed solidarity and support.
Speakers from Countering Colston, Bristol Radical History Group and legal support reflect on the campaigns that resulted in the fall of Colston, and the acquittal of the defendants. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion.
Tickets are free! Any donations will help PRSC keep the School of Activism as accessible & low-cost as possible.
