"I don’t think people learn about or are aware of history because of street names. "
Dunno actually. As a child, I was always very interested in why certain areas had street names all linked e.g. names of Queen Victoria's children or WW1 generals. It inspired me to research about where the names came from or who they referred to. |

Changing street names and removing families does NOT erase history, it removes the idolisation of historic figures.
Think of it as not having a big statue of Hitler, or a Herman Goring Street in Hamburg.

Indeed, Spain has renamed streets and squares named after General Franco and his pals. Yet, everyone seems aware of the history  |

From what I've read...
Not exactly, a small number of street names have been returned to their previous names after a Far Right political group petitioned the courts stating the the people named didn't play an direct role in Franco's 1936 coup. |

I didn't say ALL streets. The ones directly named after Franco and his fellow coup carry-outers have, to my knowledge, all been renamed. Others of lesser characters may remain. Incidentally, Spanish councils have often removed names of leaders of the very left leaning Republican leaders that preceded Franco. It's not only the nationalist names that have been replaced.
The point is, the fact that plazas and calles have been renamed has not changed the fact that people still know the history. |

When I lived in Spain, Franco's hometown of Ferrol in Galicia still had a statue in the centre. Periodically it would be targeted by subversive types with graffiti, explosives etc.

Apparently the last statue of Franco on mainland Spain was removed in 2008:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2008/dec/18/franco-statue-spain
So, presumably, Ferrol no longer has one. But the town still knows the history.
The last statue of him on any Spanish soil was removed recently, from Melilla:

The statues and such of the perpetrators of human abuse are replaced by the memorials to the victims. Which invokes a different way of questioning, but leads to the same history. |

The thread title could have been a bit more thoughtful.
No, history can't be erased. |

As long as due legal processes are followed instead of going around like a mob and breaking statues, I am fine with it.
But I personally don't think anything constructive will happen out of these things. Just a waste of time. There are plenty of credible ways to fight racial divide if you want to. |

Changing street names don’t change the fact barbarism imperialism and sla ve ry is what the GREAT in Great Britain is all about
I say learn from the past mistakes and let it be a reminder of what terrible suffering was imposed forced upon the s…….ves and educate folk that this form of human trafficking and suffering is not to happen again
As for Racism … hmmm there is no need and there is NO place in our society …
Coffee anyone ! |

Exactly this. I only learnt recently that loads of Liverpool Streets are names after sl*ve owners and it feels a bit embarrassing not to have known but I certainly wasn't alone. |

Actually the Great was added after Scotland joined the union in 1707...

I hope they choose to rename the streets after objects - flowers, trees etc rather than real people who will inevitably have some skeletons in the closet that will offend somebody for some reason in future. |

Yes, the "gate" bit is obvious. But the rest? "Neither one thing nor the other" is what the consensus seems to be, but what an odd name for a street in any era, no? Viking street names usually make sense |

All evidence points to the fact this isn’t true. If someone uses the term ‘snowflake’ in earnest, it is a foolproof method for identifying them as a deeply unpleasant person. |

What really gets me is snowflake was once a term used for a white person who argued against sla very. Though Chuck Pulanyiuk (spelling? Soz) would argue it came from Fight Club.
If I wore badges I'd get a "proud snowflake" one made. |

Yes indeed, we found a Grope Lane in Shrewsbury (many such lanes were originally called, "Gropecunt Lane") the Victorians sanitized most such street names, as in the common, Grape Lane. |

Neither will changing street names.

"They should lose street names and replace them with a number system, it would be so much easier to get around and do away with all the problems names bring to the table"
This is how the Middle East do residential street names at least. "Building 8, Street 7, Kuwait City" or whatever...... |

If we kept the staus quo then nothing would change.
By your reasoning, most of us would still be serfs - were they snow flakes for not wanting to be the property.of the Lord of the Manor??
Tolpuddle Martyrs - snowflakes?
Ending child labour, workhouses - more snowflakes?
Universal sufferage, women being allowed to vote - were the people who argued for those rights snowflakes?
Probably a bunch of snow flakes who wanted an NHS.

The whole "It's erasing our history" argument is a spectacular self-own in itself. It's just outright stating that you don't know what books or museums are.
Assuming it's made in good faith, of course, which it never is. |
