As part of this anniversary year, the event will also support fundraising for a Blue Plaque in honour of Flip Fraser, founder of The Voice newspaper and creator of Black Heroes in the Hall of Fame.
This seated theatre event will honour the stories of remarkable Black figures connected to the area — from theatre, sport, literature, music, culture and community life.
The evening will include storytelling, video, music, spoken word and community reflections, shining a light on inspirational figures including local and South London-connected heroes such as Ira Aldridge, Dina Asher-Smith, Malorie Blackman, Poly Styrene, Junior Crooks, Rio Ferdinand, David Haye and others.
The Black Heroes Foundation was founded in 2016 by Joyce Fraser OBE to continue the legacy of her late husband, Flip Fraser, and to ensure that the stories and achievements of Black heroes are preserved, celebrated and shared with future generations.
The Foundation is led by Joyce Fraser OBE, an award-winning cultural leader whose work has been recognised with an OBE, the Prime Minister's Points of Light Award and an Honorary Doctorate in Education from the University of Greenwich.
