Objective: Erect a statue to William Wilberforce in London's Trafalgar Square

Reason: There remains no statue of William Wilberforce in London almost two centuries after his campaigning led to the Slavery Abolition Act 1833. Although he was given the prestige of burial in Westminster Abbey he remains hidden from the public gaze. The time is now to have his likeness cast and placed on a plinth for the country and world to see that we honour freedom over oppression. 

Position: In a symbolic gesture William Wilberforce could take the place of General Charles James Napier or Major General Sir Henry Havelock who have not lasted the test of time regarding their relevance, and represent an era of colonialism and war in India.

Question: Who do we want to honour in London's most famous square? Which picture of British history do we want to frame for the world and future generations? You decide.
