A larger-than-life sculpture of an anticolonial hero has been unveiled as the newest artwork on Trafalgar Square’s fourth plinth.
Antelope by Samson Kambalu depicts John Chilembwe, a Baptist preacher who was killed in an uprising in Nyasaland, now Malawi, in 1915, and John Chorley, a European missionary.
Chilembwe is wearing a hat in defiance of a colonial rule forbidding Africans from wearing hats in front of white people.
