Demonstrators gathered at Oxford University in England to seek the removal of the statue of Cecil Rhodes. The protest was inspired by the Black Lives Matter demonstrations in the United States and elsewhere following the death of George Floyd.
The long-running campaign to remove the statue has been reinvigorated after the recent Black Lives Matter protests in the US following the death of George Floyd.Anti-racism protesters in the UK previously pulled down the statue of slave trader Edward Colston in the English port city of Bristol on Monday.

As he famously put it:"You are an Englishman, and have subsequently drawn the greatest prize in the lottery of life." What territory are we talking about here?Two colonies that were named after him -- Northern and Southern Rhodesia.
