Petition to take down statues of all slave traders in the UK

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

We want all of the statues of Slave Traders removed. They represent the painful history of Slavery by uplifting the disgusting British Slave Traders that stole people from all over Africa.

Rather than being placed on a pedestal which has been used as a way of "honour" throughout history, these people do not deserve that recognition, and instead belong in Museums as educational tools.
