A statue was made after Mutebo depicting the scenario when he broke the chains in 1963. On October 23, 1974, the [[Freedom Statue]] was unveiled and became a symbol of Zambia’s freedom from the British colonial regime, and has earned its place on some of the country’s most important articles, including its currency. The statue is a reminder of Zambia's fight for freedom. It is displayed at the [[Government Complex]] along [[Independence Avenue]] in Lusaka. It is at this statue where the laying of wreaths takes place every Independence Day in memory of the fore-fathers who died during the struggle.
