Bristol - Two years after Colston toppling

Published: June 28, 2022, 5:09 p.m.

Bristol has embodied the spirit of rebellion for many years, particularly in the area of race.

An epicentre of youth culture, the home of drum & bass and a thriving and passionate student fraternity. From the Bristol Bus Boycott of 1963, to the much reported removal of the prominently placed statue of former enslavement trader Edward Colston two years ago, the spirit of fight, protest and expression are omnipresent.

We visit St Pauls, in the heart of Bristol\u2019s black community and arguably UK\u2019s campaigning capital, to find out what Bristolians are feeling two years on from one of the most iconic episodes in race relations of the 21st century.
