Berlin's public transport company BVG said on Saturday that completing the renaming of a city centre metro station with a name based on a derogatory word for Black people will take until the end of the year. "Mohrenstrasse" metro station literally means Moor Street, using the medieval term for people from North Africa. "We will change all network plans, signs at the stations and on buses. Last month, unidentified activists taped over the station's entrance, temporarily naming it "George Floyd Street". "I wish that not just the metro station, but also the street itself, will find a better name."
