LETTER OF THE WEEK Revitalised thinking The articles in last week's excellent issue by Jeremy Cliffe, Ian Leslie and Emily Tamkin all revitalised my thinking about Black Lives Matter (A World In Revolt, 12 June). In this light, some mixed feelings about what happened to the statue might be allowed, and not because slavers should be memorialised or that there can be any equivalence whatsoever between an assault on a metal statue and an assault on the body of a slave. Perhaps Colston's should be replaced with a statue of a slave: a different kind of dialogue with Burke. [Extracted from the article]
