Abstract
Edward Colston is remembered for his philanthropy and memorialised in Bristol through the names of schools and a concert hall and by a statue in the city centre. But in recent years, a growing awareness of Colston’s involvement in slavery and the slave trade has made this celebration seem problematic in a multicultural and multi-ethnic city such as Bristol.
