Edward Colston
2 videos • 32 views • by The Tortoise A story of love and compassion, or haughty pride? His story has the good, the bad and the ugly like all of us. But did he leave a pearl of wisdom that could redeem his life. We carve a simple version of his statue, and workout whether he is worthy of: Being carved in the first place Being drowned in the harbour Being placed in a museum afterwards. I've no doubt if he were alive today he wouldn't be involved in slavery, so couldn't he simply be a shrewd businessman who was unfortunately born in a time where slavery was acceptable and hugely profitable? Or should we drown our carving in Bristol harbour and leave him where he belongs?
