has description | a une description
The statue of Huskisson was first erected in Liverpool in 1847, but was later toppled by anti-racist activists in 1982 due to Huskisson's support for the institution of slavery. The statue was re-erected in its present location in 2005, while the empty plinth has been recontextualised with an information panel.
