#RhodesMustFall is a student-led movement that began in South Africa in 2015. It aimed to remove a statue of Cecil Rhodes, a British imperialist, from the University of Cape Town. Activists argued that the statue symbolized colonialism and racism, and they sought to address broader issues of institutional racism in South African universities. The movement sparked similar campaigns worldwide, encouraging discussions about the legacy of colonialism and the presence of controversial figures in public spaces. It highlighted the need for transformation in higher education and prompted institutions to reconsider their histories and the representation of marginalized communities.
