Sadiq Khan – 2022 Comments on Samson Kambalu Artwork on Fourth Plinth

The comments made by Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, on 28 September 2022.

I’m delighted that Samson Kambalu’s inspiring sculpture has become the latest to take its place on the Fourth Plinth. Our world-renowned sculpture prize entertains, educates and inspires. Samson is shining a light on an often overlooked part of our country’s history and I’m sure it will encourage discussion about the fight for freedom and equality. As we continue to fight against racism and stand-up for equality across our city and country, it is a message that remains just as important today.
