[ 4 ] Dedicating the square to Idrissa Diallo is a tribute to an immigrant killed in a Detention Centre for Foreigners in 2005 . An anti-racism movement gave impetus to the initiative and was approved following a popular referendum . It is the first measure that links today ’ s racism with historical injustices such as slavery ( Antonio López was a slave trader ).
