I've raised £600 to fund leaflets and boards to challenge the idea that our community accepts the harmful legacies of colonialism implied by our street names

Story

As a group of community-minded neighbours we are committed to critical recognition of those parts of our community inheritance which represent the ideologies of British Imperialism. In this case, the street names of Clive, Lytton, Cornwallis, Outram and Campbell, all names of high ranking employees of the East India Company during the British colonial period. In order to do this, we are compiling information about vital and inclusive local histories past and present that contrast starkly with the histories of these 'men'. We've already used a first donation to produce boards such as the one below. Help us raise more for the next stage of our project!
