Public arguments about history will help shape the next century.<\/p>\n<p>They are part of what has driven hundreds of thousands of people onto the streets to demand radical change.

Two weeks after the police murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, the global protests against racism are bolstering demands for reparations, moral and material.<\/p>\n<p>The felling of the statue of slave trader Edward Colston on Sunday from its plinth in the centre of the English port city of Bristol, and its dumping in the docks from which the slave ships sailed, followed decades of campaigning for its removal.<\/p>\n<p>The delighted crowd \u2013 a snapshot of modern multi-cultural Bristol \u2013 that greeted Colston\u2019s final despatch have won an important victory over the loyal retainers of Britain\u2019s colonial mythology.<\/p>\n<p>Global ululation at the toppling of Colston reverberated across social media left Britain\u2019s conservative politicians harrumphing about vandalism and \u2018criminal damage\u2019, ignoring moral issues raised by such monuments.<\/p>\n<p>As historian David Olusoga points out, people in Bristol were angered not just by the valorisation of Colston but by the refusal of his cheerleaders such as the Society of Merchant Venturers to acknowledge the brutalised people that generated the wealth of the Royal Africa Company of which he was deputy governor.<\/p>\n<p>Protesters against systemic racism in the UK tore down a bronze statue depicting slave trader Edward Colston, rolling it through the streets before tossing it into the river.<\/p>\n<p>The resonance of history won\u2019t end with this or the next ten monuments to fall. Instead, fuelled by the intensity of our times, it will reopen arguments over reparations for historic crimes.<\/p>\n<p>As advocated by pan-Africanist activists, politicians such as the late Joseph Henry Mensah and Moshood Abiola, and Indian intellectuals such as Shashi Tharoor, reparations are as much about a moral reordering as a balance sheet calculation of debts, written in blood across Africa and Asia.<\/p>\n<p>They are also give a chance for creative thinking as countries navigate through the economic and social consequences of the pandemic.

Another UN grand projet is withering on the vine.<\/p>\n<p>With the public health consequences of deepening inequalities so evident today, even harder hearts in the West should see self-interest in international action. In case they miss the point, this age of protest drawing on historical wrongs is not going away.<\/p>\n<p>A century ago amid a global pandemic, a conference of imperial overlords, leavened by the occasional freedom fighter, met in Paris to try to reconstruct the world order after a continental war had consumed millions of lives.<\/p>\n<p>This time with a clearer sense of history, more freedom fighters and no overlords, we could do much better.
