The Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm is an initiative established by the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan on June 9, 2020 to review and access public tributes including statues and other landmarks.[1] The commission is in response to the George Floyd protests in the United Kingdom which saw protesters topple a Statue of Edward Colston in Bristol, whilst also defacing a number of statues across the country.[2][3] The commission will consider if statues, memorials, and places of worship have been funded through connection with, or directly from slave trading.
