People Share 29 Statues That Are Better Than The Ones Torn Down By The Prot3st3rs

If you’re following the news, you probably heard that prot3st0rs took down the statue of Edward Colston, an English merchant who was known for being inv0lved in sl@ve trade, in Bristol. Well, the takedown of this statue actually inspired other prot3st3rs to tear down numerous other statues who depicted sl@ve owners and other human rights abusers, like Christopher Columbus and Robert Milligan. However, this doesn’t mean that all monuments are dedicated to t3rr1ble people. People on Twitter are sharing photos of monuments dedicated to activists and revolutionaries who fought for peace and equality, and all of us should learn more about them.

Check out the monuments dedicated to heroes all around the world in the gallery below!
