Description: At first there were three identical statues in Belfast, Glasgow & Liverpool, referencing to religious differences. Two more identical statues are now placed in Cotonou, Benin and in Richmond Virginia, marking the three hubs in the slave trade triangle. The statues are a physical statement but a project, the Reconciliation Project, aimed to link students in Benin, Richmond & Liverpool, building bridges that might overcome racial disadvantage and economic separation in schools and communities.
