Campaigns to remove controversial statues gathered pace today as the Black Lives Matter movement spread across the UK. Tributes to slave traders and colonialists were targeted after anti-racism protesters tore down a statue of Edward Colston in Bristol on Sunday.

A statue of Queen Victoria in Leeds was daubed with the words “slave owner” while another of slaver Robert Milligan was removed in East London.

A group called Topple the Racists is calling for others to be removed in the wake of George Floyd’s killing, saying: “Statues are exercises of public adoration.

We must learn from, not venerate, this terrible chapter in British colonial history.” On its list are memorials to Met police founder Sir Robert Peel.

Little Simz on racial equality in the music industry: “There’s a lot more to be done”
Little Simz has spoken about racial equality in the music industry, saying there’s “a lot more that can be done.”In response to the Black Lives Matter protests in the wake of George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis, an industry initiative saw a blackout on social media for one day.Speaking to NME for this week’s Big Read cover story, Simz said: “There’s a lot more that can be done, but I think it’s a wider conversation to be had, to be honest. It’s probably one that us Black artists also need to have amongst ourselves, about how we can support each other internally.”She continued to highlight an issue in which she said the industry only seems to allow one Black woman to do well at a time.

Laverne Cox, Ludacris, Todrick Hall and More on the Meaning of Juneteenth (Exclusive)
Juneteenth — also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day — commemorates the end of slavery in the United States, over two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation when slaves in Texas were finally freed on June 19, 1865. Once a day only celebrated in Texas, recognition has grown within the black community and beyond as awareness for it increased, particularly over the past decade. This year, it’s bigger than ever as the recent protests against systemic racism that stemmed from the killing of George Floyd has led many to reconsider the events of June 19 and how that has shaped the country 155 years later.
