The statue of slave trader Edward Colston that was toppled by anti-racism protestors in Bristol, England earlier this week has been fished out of the harbour in the city.
The local council shared a video on social media of the monument being retrieved today and added it was being taken to a secure location.
The statue will now be displayed in a museum alongside placards from the Black Lives Matter protest in the UK.
The statue is of Edward Colston, who’s believed to have gained his wealth through the slave trade in Africa.
