The toppling by anti-racism protesters of a statue of a slave trader in the English port city of Bristol has given new urgency to a debate about how Britain should confront some of the darkest chapters of its history.

Colston donated widely to charitable causes across his home city of Bristol, which named a street and several buildings after him.

Bristol police said they made a tactical decision not to intervene because that could have caused worse disorder.
