As people of Redditch and out of respect to the Black Lives Matter campaign, we must demand that Morton Stanley Park be renamed.

Henry Morton Stanley was a part of Leopold's regime to conquer Congo, and was charged with excessive violence, wanton destruction, the selling of laborours into slavery, the sexual exploitation of native women, and the plundering of villages for ivory and canoes.

In a letter to the Secretary of the Royal Geographical Society in the 1870s, Conservative M.P. and treasurer of the Aborigines' Protection Society, Sir Robert Fowler, refused to "whitewash Stanley" and insisted that his "heartless butchery of unfortunate natives has brought dishonour on the British flag and must have rendered the course of future travellers more perilous and difficult."

General Charles George Gordon remarked in a letter to Richard Francis Burton that Stanley shared Samuel Baker's unwise tendency to write openly about deploying firearms against Africans: "These things may be done, but not advertised."[70] Richard Francis Burton himself wrote that Stanley "shoots negroes as if they were monkeys"[53][71][10] in an October, 1876, letter to John Kirk.

Born in Denbigh, Wales, a statue was erected in Stanley's honour in 2010, but since a petition has been signed by over 1,200 people for it to be removed.
