Earlier this week, countless people from across the country were left aghast when a blue plaque to commemorate David Oluwale was ripped from it’s city centre location in Leeds just hours after being unveiled in what police have deemed a hate crime.
Yet in a heartwarming twist today, members from the local community managed to successfully crowdfund a replacement for the plaque in a matter of hours to make sure David would never be forgotten.
At the time of writing, a just giving page launched by Leeds Civic Trust had already surpassed its initial £1,000 target, meaning that a replacement plaque can now be bought and installed.
