The gravestone of a dog named the 'N word' based in Warwickshire has been removed amid the Black Lives Matter movement. The dog passed away in July 1902 and his memorial in Coombe Abbey Park, a popular cultural attraction, displayed his controversial name along with the date of his death. 'Our stance on racism is clear and although the gravestone was from another time it is not appropriate today.' The decision to remove the memorial has also been met with opposition by certain members of the community, with some believing that area's local history should be respected. 'Leave history alone whether it be a grave or a statue before this city has no history left.'
