The Black Lives Matter protests have inspired people all over the world to look at and condemn injustice and past oppression. In Greenland, the protests have fueled old tensions with its former colonial ruler, Denmark. Greenland is the world’s largest island. It sits between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans. The island is now a self-governing territory of Denmark. For one hundred years, the statue of Danish-Norwegian colonist Hans Egede has stood in Nuuk, Greenland’s largest city and capital. The Black Lives Matter protests have led to calls for the statue’s removal. “We should do as the rest of the world is doing and remove it,” Tarrak-Petrussen said. “It’s a part of the oppression here in Greenland and the systemic racism.”
