Police horse Brutus will be renamed after one of the six Bristol pioneers in an online vote.
Bristol Bus Boycott campaigner Julz Davis said he will be casting his vote in the online poll
PH Hackett, is one of the names, in recognition of Roy Hackett, who formed an action group in protest against the BOC's refusal to give his wife Ena a job as a conductor despite her being fully qualified for the role. PH Prince and PH Audley are other options, in recognition of Prince Brown and Audley Evans, who were both pivotal members of the campaign group.
The success of the boycott is credited with leading to the creation of the Race Relations Act, now at the heart of the Equalities Act 2010, which legally protects people from discrimination in the workplace and in wider society. Mr Davis contacted the families of the six pioneers and got permission to include their names in the poll.
