Bristol University renaming Colston Street Accommodation
The Issue
Colston Street is named after Edward Colston a 17th century slave trader personally responsible for 85,000 slaves transported to the Caribbean.
Regardless of what he did for Bristol it is morally reprehensible that a city which has blossomed due to Immigrant and specifically BME culture could be denigrated by the presence of his name across our city.
Sign to signal to Bristol University to change the name of their University Halls.
