Henry Dundas was an 18th-century politician from Scotland. The city of Toronto is reviewing a request to change the name of the street that honours him. . . A petition with thousands of signatures states that Henry Dundas "actively participated in obstructing the abolition of slavery in the British Empire". . . There have also been calls for the removal of the Melville Monument in Edinburgh which honours Dundas. Others are requesting that the monument remain but with new signage that details Dundas' connection to the slave trade. . . . #toronto #torontonews #dundas #slavery #scotland #edinburgh
