If we only see the person who has been sculpted, what does it tell us about who commissioned them and why? #sculpture #statue #colston #BRISTOL #London #parliamentsquare #earlofderby #Derby

@ViscountPalmer1 You're correct, my mistake, it should say 9. Object to non-white, what a strange thing to say?! It's 'non-white men' of which Fawcett is not. Interesting comment though, maybe you could answer why is 'Palmerston' there? Some would say he is irrelevant now
#ParliamentSquare where the project began. 12 white men on pedestals, 3 non-white men no pedestals & not listed. What does this say about our #PublicSpaces
