Sculpture of MLK & Corretta Scott King unveiled in Boston, yesterday.
Looks like a knot wearing a bracelet, to me. I'm still half asleep, though....

It would be interesting to know/learn, how soon after the famous 'embrace' MLK was actually banging one of his many side pieces. The disgrace that has always been called the FBI, of course, worked hard to discredit him.

BTW, Coretta called him in his hotel room, which was bugged by the FBI, to let him know he was being awarded the Nobel Prize. I have no idea if other women were with him at that time.

The FBI still needs to be abolished.

That's what it looks like. What a horrendous sculpture. Good lord that's embarrassing.

Is this the same artist that brought us Obamas presidential portrait?

I'm sure those nfl (and now college with NIl) players sure feel like slaves with their mansions and Ferraris.

So he took a photo that was recognized by anyone with a human brain, removed the heads, left the hands, then took an artistic liberty with what most peoples interpretation will be a phallus?

I'm sure in the "artists" mind, and whoever approved it, it is. For the rest of the world, it's nowhere even close.

I hope they kept the receipt so they can get their money back.

It is a depiction of Coretta's hands from a view behind Dr King. The other side of the sculpture depicts Dr. King's hands embracing Coretta.


I don't really get it, but to each their own....

Okay, if you say that was the artist's intent but can't see her other hand. Left hand on his torso under his arm and her right hand is behind him. Wonder if there are other angles of the photo? The detail on the hands is pretty good but the rest of it is too amorphous and does resemble a phallus.

Yes - because making millions of dollars playing in the NFL is slavery.

Also, getting scholarships to play football and access to the finest facilities, free food, etc in college is slavery too.

EVERYTHING IS LITERAL SLAVERY.

That means every one of us is both a slave and a slave master.

Repent bigots.

I think it was probably a cool idea at a small scale. Doesn't work if all you can do is look up at it.
