Students Vow Statue Will Fall

 

 

The Morning Star, London, 2 February 2016

 

Oxford University students vowed yesterday to “redouble their efforts” to
tear down a statue of British imperialist Cecil Rhodes.

 

Oriel College announced last week that it would keep the statue in situ
before a promised consultation even took place.

 

Rhodes Must Fall In Oxford organiser Sarah Atayero said: “We are not backing
down and we will be redoubling our efforts to take the struggle to the
university as a whole.”

 

She said the statue’s removal was vital so the university could come to
terms with present-day issues around race.

 

The college denied reports that donors had threatened to withdraw gifts
worth over £100 million if the statue was removed.
