London is home to the largest proportion of Afro-Caribbean descendants in the UK (1.1 million). Trafalgar Square is in the heart of the capital, a globally recognised destination in which the Square’s Four Plinths are seen year-round. Since 1841, the Fourth Plinth has not permanently pedestaled any statue or sculpture – we insist this space is now used to represent and acknowledge British slavery.
This sculpture not only acts as a memorial to the victims of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, but a place where Afro-Caribbean diaspora can connect with their ancestors who unwillingly gave so much to this nation.
One Voice For Freedom has sufficient funds of £500,000 for the Fourth Plinth sculpture, in addition to the support and praise of notable artists, sculptors, public figures and businesses.

On the fourth plinth of Trafalgar Square, under Lord Nelson’s watch, we hope to create a permanent space of contemplation that can facilitate forgiveness. The presence of such a memorial will be a platform to engage and promote knowledge. Through educating future generations about one of the most significant and tragic periods in world history we can better understand Britain and her future.
The necessity of this cause is becoming increasingly transparent as we become more aware of the impacts of the slave trade, and their pervasion of modern society.
NOW is the moment to learn, evaluate and for us all to heal for the good of our nation.
