Rhian Graham tells Bristol court she was standing with people of colour against ‘a symbol of great harm’
A woman accused of helping to pull down the statue of Edward Colston in Bristol said she was acting out of “allyship and solidarity” with people of colour, a court heard.
Rhian Graham told Bristol crown court on Monday she knew the bronze memorial to the slave trader was a source of offence for many Bristolians and that the council had not responded to calls for it to be removed before the Black Lives Matter protest she attended last year.
