Event
- has description | a une description

The petition, which garnered 2,907 signatures as of April 5th 2024, laid out the following argument for changing the name:
"Blackboy Road in Exeter is named after King Charles II. Charles had a darker complexion, different height and features from those around him which led to him being known as "Black boy". I think the fact this hasn't been changed already is insensitive and ignorant so having just moved into the area and learned the history behind the name, I want to see it changed.
It's 2020 and we still have a road named after a racist nickname given to one of our monarchs.
Please get behind this by signing the petition and sharing with as many people as you can.
Thank you." - has type | est de type
