All Souls College change Codrington Library name, but keep statue of slaveholder
[Many thanks to Peter Jordens for bringing this item to our attention.] Amelia Wood (Cherwell) writes about attempts by All Souls College (Oxford, England) to acknowledge that Christopher Codrington’s wealth was derived as a product of enslaved people’s work in the Caribbean, while not removing his statue from the Codrington Library. The College’s Governing Body announced that there will be a name change for the library. A plaque at the library now reads “In memory of those who worked in slavery on the Codrington plantations in the West Indies.”
