Скачать или смотреть Behind The Petition To Rename Dundas Street In Toronto

Just over a year after the Let's Rename Dundas Street in Toronto petition called on city officials to change the street's name, the decision has been met with approval "in an effort to promote inclusion and reconciliation with marginalized communities," according to a City of Toronto news release.

The petition brought attention to Henry Dundas, a Scottish politician involved in delaying the abolition of the Transatlantic Slave Trade that caused more than half a million Black people to be enslaved by the British Empire, and who had "had virtually no connection to Toronto," Mayor John Tory said recently.
