<div>200 years ago African-Americans, Bill Richmond and Tom Molineaux were the top boxers in Britain. Report from ITV news January 2026 watch <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&amp;v=f_0Ocul5SDw" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HERE</a>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 1810 Bill (New York), having fought his way into wealth and high society, owned a pub on the site of the National Gallery, Trafalgar Square. As a Black business and property owner, he trained people like Lord Byron and his fellow boxer Tom Molineuax (Virginia).

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bill and Tom took on the might of the British establishment, long before slavery was abolished, when they organised a fight for the British bare knuckle boxing championship with white sailor Tom Cribb in 1810 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AYOe7I4UTk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HERE</a>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Both men made a massive impact on boxing history and books have been written about their exploits and legacy. Professor David Olusoga recognised Bill in his 2016 BBC TV show Black and British a Forgotten History. They were referenced in Netflix' Bridgerton and Disney Plus 'A Thousand Blows'. There are several books about them; Black Ajax by George Mcdonald Fraser, Richmond Unchained by Luke G Williams, etc
</div>
<div>Bill and Tom have featured on our Black History Walks in Trafalgar Square/Theatreland, bus and river tours for 20 years but there is no physical memorial about the legendary venue.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After over a decade of detective work, lobbying and negotiating we have now got permission to install a historic blue plaque on the side of the National Gallery to honour both these remarkable men for the first time in two centuries.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Black History Walks having raised funds for ten plaques so far <a href="https://blackhistorywalks.co.uk/plaques/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HERE</a> , the most recent being to James Baldwin <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ufhz2w_mRjA&amp;t=81s" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HERE</a> is raising money to fund the cost of a Nubian Jak Blue plaque, and any donation will make a difference. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause which will make a massive impact on the lack of Black historical representation this central London area.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nubian Jak has put up two statues and 130 blue plaques so far <a href="https://nubianjak.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HERE</a> but this will be the first one in the Trafalgar square area. The money will pay for legal fees, listed building application, plaque manufacture, publicity and the unveiling ceremony.
