🇹🇹Trinidad and Tobago remove a statue of Christopher Columbus According to Port-of-Spain Corporation the statue was removed on August 6th 2025. This follows extensive discussions and technical assessment. The process commenced at approximately 10pm in Independence Square in the capital city. Special shout out to the Rastaman (pictured) who had the task of taking down the Columbus statue. ❤️💛💚✊🏾 The statue will now be placed in National Museum and Art Gallery. The controversial statue has had red paint thrown over it, had its hands removed and even had a bag placed over its head - as a growing number of citizens in the twin-island nation believe Columbus should not be glorified. Earlier this year, Trinidad and Tobago also removed three Columbus ships from its Coat of Arms and replaced them with an image of the iconic Steelpan - an instrument invented in Trinidad and Tobago. 🇹🇹 ✊🏾🌎 📸: Port of Spain City Corporation #ChristopherColumbus #Trinidadandtobago #caribbean #decolonization #Caribbeanhistory #rastafari
