Paragraph 1
A statue of a
Belgian king was covered in
and then pulled down by anti-racism protestors. The
was of King Leopold II, who was King of the Belgians from 1865 to 1909. He was also
of the Congo Free State in Africa from 1885 to 1908. A statue of
in the Belgian city of Antwerp was attacked by
over the weekend. It was removed from its
on Tuesday. Hundreds of protestors cheered as the statue came down. City
say they will probably put the statue in a city museum. A
official said: "The square where the statue stood will be redesigned in 2023. There will be no
for it there afterwards. It will remain part of the museum's collection."
