Caesar Augustus represents ‘icon of colonial and imperial domination’
A Brown University student group, Decolonization at Brown, wants the
school to remove two Roman statues displayed on campus, claiming the
statues represent white supremacy and colonialism.
The student group at the Ivy League university in Rhode Island has
lobbied the school’s Undergraduate Council of Students to support its
initiative to remove of statues of Roman Emperors Caesar Augustus and
Marcus Aurelius.
"We come to bury Caesar, not to praise him". I think I've heard that before.
