Humans have a tendency to share their opinions confidently in front of anyone. And, even the world cannot stop you from speaking for or against something. Thus, whenever we find something unusual happening around us, we protest against it. And one such protest is about the takedown of Edward Colston statue in Bristol. He was associated with the slave trade and thus, this topic has gained much spark. But the people find it quite difficult to choose their side about it. But, apart from this, the residents have got the inspiration to take down some more statues also.
Namely, Christopher Columbus, Jefferson Davis, and the Portsmouth Confederate Statue are among the demands. The people are demanding to remove the Cecil Rhodes statue in the UK as well. While the statue purge continues, it is more important to understand that not all the statues honor debatable and dubious personalities. Because there are many honorable and good guys in the history who worked selflessly for the development.
Thus, we believe, not all of them should be taken down. Also, a trend on Twitter has begun where people have suggested a few such personalities that deserve to be respected. And we have curated the best picks out of them for you below.
