Change the name of Whiteladies road and Blackboy Hill


Change the name of Whiteladies road and Blackboy Hill
The Issue
The time has come to finally make a change! The slave trader and owner, Edward Colston’s statue has finally been taken down and protests have started. An equal society is possible and in reach but our ancestors still suffered for hundreds of years and it cannot be forgotten about. We must carry on in getting justice for our ancestors who were so unfairly treated. My name is Ashya Bernard and after conversations with my Dad I genuinely cannot believe that names like “Whiteladies Road” and “Blackboy Hill” are still around in our city, linking to the slave trade . Blackboy Hill was names after a pub which sat on the hill called “Blackboy Inn”. Walking around in a city which has locations named after the suffering of our ancestors is not right. Help get justice for our ancestors by signing this petition to get the names changed immediately!!!!
