With the recent emergence of protest movements over historical representation, historical monuments have become the focus of debates and protests. While we are familiar with protests in the United States, they have spread to other regions of the Atlantic World. For ten extra credit points, using news articles, identify a protest movement against a historical monument depicting a person or aspect of Atlantic World History (Do a non-U.S. protest movement). Describe the history that the monument represents and why the protestors feel it is wrong and harmful. Propose an alternative monument that you think would be more effective.

Make sure your response is at least 250 words and thoughtful or you may not get the full points.
