The fourteenth commision in the Fourth Plinth Programme in Trafalgar Square is 'Antelope' by Samson Kambalu. It features Baptist preacher John Chilembwe (1891 - 1915) and missionary John Chorley in 1914, Nyasaland now Malawi. Chilembwe is wearing a hat in defiance of colonial rule that forbade Africans from wearing hats in front of white people.
