Background
The Black Heroes Foundation is a community based organisation for the development and promotion of talent, together with cultural and artistic initiatives in the community focusing on youth, education, training, personal development, health & well being, and social mobility.
We bring joy, confidence and pride by using the Arts to tell the stories of Black Heroes to enlighten, educate and empower people.
This charitable foundation has been incorporated in honour of, and to support the legacy of Peter Randolph Fraser AKA “Flip Fraser”, the first editor of The Voice Newspaper, and creator of the critically acclaimed show “Black Heroes in the Hall of Fame”, with J.D. Douglas (Dialogue) and Khareem Jamal (Musical Director).
Flip was in the process of setting up the Black Heroes Foundation, when he became ill and sadly passed away in 2014. This venture has now been realised on his behalf, in honour of his memory and the phenomenal work that he has created. The Foundation gained its charitable recognition in October 2016, celebrated with a launch event at the London Living Room, City Hall.

HOW IT ALL STARTED

Black Heroes in the Hall of Fame was an outstanding and well-renowned show of 25 years, which toured the UK, USA, and Jamaica, with its last performance being in London, 2007. There is still a great deal of interest in the show, with demands for it to be re-launched. Part of this journey was the registration and launch of the Black Heroes Foundation in 2016”.
