David Oluwale blue plaques displayed all over Leeds as city unites with strong message to racists

Places across Leeds are displaying David Oluwale plaques in solidarity after the original blue plaque was stolen.

The plaque dedicated to the victim of racial harassment was unveiled on April 25 on the Leeds Bridge by Leeds Civic Trust. It was stolen less than five hours after unveiling, leading police to launch a hate crime investigation.

Councillors Jonathan Pryor and Abigail Marshall Katung installed a temporary plaque in its place in the meantime - but this was also vandalised. However, Leeds Civic Trust are standing strong.
