This report outlines the key issues arising from a case study involving the removal of historical statues in the context of the Black Lives Matter movement. It analyzes the situation, particularly focusing on statues of figures like Cecil Rhodes and Edward Colston, and explores three possible options: removing the statues, relocating them to museums, or leaving them in place. The report considers arguments for and against each option, referencing articles discussing the complexities of historical figures and the potential for erasing or rewriting history. It concludes that while addressing racism is crucial, destroying historical artifacts is not the solution and recommends preserving these sites while re-evaluating colonial and slavery culture. The report advocates for shifting controversial statues to museums and changing people's mindsets to combat racism effectively.
