The reckoning: the toppling of monuments to slavery in the UK

The reckoning: the toppling of monuments to slavery in the UK Aamna Mohdin and Rhi Storer © Provided by The Guardian Photograph: Martin Godwin/The Guardian The toppling of the statue of the slave trader Edward Colston in Bristol was a bittersweet moment for 23-year-old Nasra Ayub. The community activist, who has always called the city home, remembers the long-standing campaigns to remove iconography of Colston in schools, public buildings and spaces. She graduated from the University of Bristol feeling disheartened by how little movement there was to remove tributes to those involved with slavery. © Provided by The Guardian Protesters throw a statue of Edward Colston into Bristol harbour during a Black Lives Matter protest rally in June.

Lindy McDowell: Why using a bit of common sense just isn t up our street

Or a combination of any or all of the above? For inspiration, we can look to Birmingham where this week the city council chose the names of six new streets on a cohesion/shared values theme. As you do nowadays. Locals can now look forward to living in Humanity Close, Equality Road, Diversity Grove, Respect Way, Inspire Avenue and Destiny Road. (I get the feeling they were running out of virtue-signalling steam with the last one). We re pretty keen on the jargon of inclusion ourselves, so surely we could do even better than that around here? Surely, we could have our own Equality Streets. (Other confectionery-related place names are available).
