    RUSTAT MEMORIAL: FACULTY APPLICATION: INTRODUCTION In May 2019, the College Council of Jesus College Cambridge set up the Legacy of Slavery Working Party (LSWP) to undertake an extended review of the College’s historic links to enslavement and its long-term impact. The LSWP provided an interim report in November 2019, and a further set of recommendations in November 2020. Among the recommendations is action to be taken with respect to the large memorial to Tobias Rustat, which is featured on the west wall of the College Chapel.1 Tobias Rustat (1608—1693) was one of the College’s largest benefactors before the twentieth century. Rustat was also an investor in several trading companies including the Company of Royal Adventurers of England Trading into Africa, commonly called the Royal African Company, which was chartered in 1663 and reincorporated in 1672 as The Royal African Company (RAC). The Royal African Company played a major role in the slave trade at the time. The fact of Rustat’s involvement both with the College and in the slave trade is not in doubt. Further historical information and analysis by the Legacy of Slavery Working Party can be found in Appendix 1. By the time of the LSWP’s recommendations in November 2020, the Church of England had called for a critical dialogue over memorials which ‘have links to slave trading or the exploitation of people,’ noting that such dialogue ‘must have real outcomes’ which ‘may include re-interpretation, or gaining permission for the alteration or removal of monuments’.2 Since then, the report of the Archbishops’ Anti-Racism Taskforce, From Lament to Action, has been published (April 2021).

  • 8518: Rustat Memorial at Jesus College
    FOI Ref Response sent 8518 23 Feb 2021 (CCC) Jesus College As you may know, Jesus College, Cambridge have applied to the Church of England authorities to remove the Rustat memorial from their Grade I listed chapel. This email is to ask a) have the College consulted with Cambridge City Council on this matter? b) if so, could you provide me with a copy of their request to you and your response c) please also provide me with a copy of all other communications with the College, University, or other body regarding the Rustat memorial in the chapel Response: The council has been approached in its capacity as the local planning authority to provide advice regarding historic building conservations related to the removal of the memorial to Tobias Rustat from Jesus College Chapel. This request came from the Diocesan Advisory Committee (DAC) for the Diocese of Ely. The local planning authority is not the decision maker as the Chapel operates under an ecclesiastical exemption, however the attached correspondence from the DAC was received and the Council's advice was given by the Principal Conservation and Design Officer. Details of the planning application made to the Diocese of Ely can be found on Jesus College's website at https://www.jesus.cam.ac.uk/articles/memorial- planning-application.

  • Topple the Racists I: Decolonising the Space and the Institutional Memory of the University Gerry Kearns, Maynooth University, Ireland
    Topple the Racists I: Decolonising the Space and the Institutional Memory of the University Gerry Kearns, Maynooth University, Ireland Statues and Free Speech As an undergraduate, I read volume 22 of the Colston Papers, the proceedings from a symposium on regional forecasting held at the University of Bristol (Chisholm et al., 1970). I remembered the book the other day when I learned that in Bristol on Sunday 7 June a statue of Edward Colston, a slave-trader, had been dumped in the harbour in the cause of Black Lives Matter (Ross, 2020). On 10 June a Stop Trump Coalition (2020) put up a ‘crowdsourced map of UK statues and monuments that celebrate slavery and racism.’ After some eight-score others, the final entry on the list is a statue of Cecil Rhodes, up on the front elevation of Oriel College, standing above Oxford’s High Street. This, like the statue of Colston, had already been the focus of petitions and protests urging removal. In March 2015, students at the University of Cape Town launched Rhodes Must Fall as a campaign to have removed from their campus the monument to the imperialist politician and mining magnate who had ‘gifted’ to the state the lands upon which that university now stands. Students at Oxford had almost immediately launched their own Rhodes Must Fall movement, seeking ‘to decolonise the space, the curriculum, and the institutional memory at, and to fight intersectional oppression within, Oxford’ (Rhodes Must Fall in Oxford, 2015). In May 2015, it protested a debating society, the Oxford Union, pairing a debate on colonial reparations with a promotional ‘Colonial Comeback’ cocktail, advertised beneath an image of black hands in manacles (Jamieson, 2015).
