Good news that the statue of Robert Milligan has now been removed so swiftly, despite it being such a difficult challenge in previous conversations.

However, this petition is not over as its focus is not on erasing history. It is about

• Acknowledging and atoning for what has taken place through Robert Milligan's historic actions
• Creating the appropriate space for the affected Black Communities to be able to define the way forward for themselves
• Ensuring a process where the Black Community can heal and move forward in a way that fits with our current society
• Re-framing the narrative of the way that history is being and has been presented in Britain
• Opening access to restorative funding to support & enable the Black Community to benefit from due sweat and mortality equity of their enslaved African ancestors
