Help us honour Flip Fraser — Creator of Black Heroes in the Hall of Fame, and first editor of the Voice newspaper. A pioneer who helped change the landscape of Black British journalism and theatre.

The Black Heroes Foundation wants to give him the honour he deserves. A Blue Plaque, nominated by Nubian Jak Community Trust

As the first Editor of The Voice newspaper and creator of the groundbreaking theatrical production Black Heroes in the Hall of Fame, Flip Fraser (1951–2014) dedicated his life to making Black history and achievements visible.

Now, we have an opportunity to ensure that his contribution is permanently recognised with a commemorative Blue Plaque, honouring his legacy and inspiring future generations.

Flip Fraser (1951–2014) was the first Editor of The Voice newspaper and the creator of the groundbreaking theatrical production Black Heroes in the Hall of Fame — bringing “5,000 years of Black history in one night of theatre”.

Through journalism, theatre and storytelling, Flip dedicated his life to educating, entertaining and empowering communities. His work helped bring Black history, achievements and contributions into the spotlight.

Now, we have an opportunity to give Flip the lasting public recognition he deserves.

The Nubian Jak Community Trust has agreed to honour Flip with a commemorative Blue Plaque recognising his contribution to British journalism, theatre and cultural history.

I founded the Black Heroes Foundation in 2016 following Flip's passing, inspired by the many people who spoke of the impact he had made on their lives and urged me to preserve his legacy.

Ten years later, as we celebrate the Foundation's 10th anniversary and what would have been Flip's 75th birthday, we are appealing for your support to make this tribute a reality.

Our target is £6,000.

How your donation will help

We are raising £6,000 to support the creation and installation of a commemorative Blue Plaque honouring Flip Fraser, in partnership with the Nubian Jak Community Trust.

The funds will contribute towards the plaque itself, identifying and securing a suitable location, obtaining the necessary permissions, professional advice and installation costs.

Every donation brings us closer to creating a lasting public tribute to a man whose contribution to Black British history deserves to be remembered and celebrated.

If we exceed our fundraising target

Should donations exceed the final cost of the Blue Plaque project, any surplus funds will be used by the Black Heroes® Foundation to preserve and celebrate Flip Fraser's legacy through our charitable heritage, education and cultural activities.

Your generosity will help ensure that Flip's vision of educating, entertaining and empowering communities continues to inspire future generations.

If you cannot donate, please help by sharing this appeal with your family, friends and networks.

Together, we can ensure that Flip Fraser's legacy lives on.

Thank you for your generosity and support.
