ABOUT
If you’ve visited London, you might have noticed its famous blue plaques, pinned to buildings throughout the city to commemorate notable men and women who have shaped British history. While more than 950 plaques are scattered across the capital as part of the scheme, just 1.6% of those honoured are of African or Caribbean descent. The Black Plaque Project, an exciting campaign by Havas London and support group Nubian Jak Community Trust, aimed to address the imbalance by installing specially designed black plaques to celebrate the lives of London’s most notable Black residents. Sam Adio, Art Director, and Ken Abalos, Junior Creative of Havas London, chat about the initiative and why the project is so meaningful to them on a personal level.
