Re: Black Lives Matter
Quote:
Quote from The Sun: The sculpture of Black Lives Matter protester Jen Reid, which replaced the statue of Edward Colston was removed this morning.
Pictures from the scene in Bristol showed workers at the site at around 5.20am.
Council workers used ropes to secure the statue of Jen Reid before removing it and loading it into a recycling and skip hire lorry.
The statue, by artist Marc Quinn, was put up in the early hours of Wednesday.
Ms Reid, who attended the original BLM march where the statue of slave trader Colston was toppled, said yesterday: "I'd better get a picture before they take it down."
Quinn's lifesize black resin and steel piece of Ms Reid was inspired after seeing a photo of her standing on the empty plinth.
The sculpture, entitled A Surge of Power (Jen Reid), was installed without the knowledge or consent of Bristol City Council.
