Protesters tore down the statue of Edward Colston, a notorious British slave trader Sunday.
They then dumped the statue in a harbour. The removal of the statue came on the second day of demonstrations against George Floyd’s death.
Footage showed a few dozen people tie a rope around the neck of Colston’s statue and bring it to the ground in the southwestern city of Bristol.
