Statue of Robert Milligan, an 18th century slave trader, was removed from its plinth outside a London museum on Tuesday after global anti-racism protests triggered a debate about how Britain commemorates its imperial past. Statues glorifying slave traders and colonialists come into sharp focus in recent days, as part of a broader movement inspired by the Black Lives Matter protests that started in US over George Floyd's death.
