The killing of George Floyd sparked anti-racist protests across the world - many focused on statues linked to colonialism and slavery. In Monumental Change, Suzanne Packer explores how statues have become a flashpoint in Wales for the bigger discussions that need to be taken around who we chose to commemorate and value and the need to re-appraise what we perceive as 鈥淲elsh history鈥�.

We hear why these figures of bronze and stone evoke such strong feelings, examining the story behind a statue that鈥檚 coming down (Thomas Picton); a statue that鈥檚 going up (Betty Campbell) and a statue that鈥檚 staying put despite controversy and opposition (H M Stanley).

Those discussing the issues include Gaynor Legall, who鈥檚 heading a Welsh Government task force auditing every statue, street and building in Wales connected to the slave trade; Dr Chris Evans, an authority on the Welsh context of slavery, BAME history expert Abu-Bakr Madden Al-Shabazz and young activist and creative Yasmin Begum.
