Statue of Nelson in Heroes Square, Bridgetown, Barbados (erected 22 March 1813, approximately 27 years before Nelson’s Column, Trafalgar Square, London). The statue was defaced on 29 November, 2017 (one day before Barbados’ 51st independence anniversary), with yellow and blue paint (the two prominent colours of the Barbadian flag). A note was left at the base of the plinth with the heading, “Nelson Must Fall,” charging Nelson as a “racist and white supremacist who would rather die than see black people free.” -- source link
