Black Lives Matter sculpture removed by Bristol council

by

The sculpture of a Black Lives Matter protester that replaced the statue of slave trader Edward Colston in Bristol has been removed.

Artist Marc Quinn installed a sculpture of activist Jen Reid on the empty plinth left when a statue of slave trader Andrew Colston was toppled during protests in June.

The statue of a Reid doing a black power salute installed in a clandestine operation, was removed around 24 hours after it was erected
