Dr Ezekiel, a historian and professor emerita of women's and African American studies, thought little more of the statue until decades after her visit, in 2017.

In the late twentieth and early twenty-first century, the celebration of Colston was increasingly challenged given his prominent role in the enslavement of African people. On 7 June 2020, the statue was pulled down during Black Lives Matter protests and rolled into the harbour.

Bristol City Council planning officers have recommended that the planning committee approve the wording at a meeting on 10 April." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cmmqqg47dvno #EDUUKUniversityOfBristolTimCole
