The city of Boston has taken online and social media heat this weekend after unveiling a 22-foot bronze sculpture that celebrates the relationship between the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and his wife, Coretta Scott King.
For those who have seen the famous[?] photo of the Kings embracing, it's easier to visualize what Thomas was trying to accomplish.
For others, the gigantic bronze sculpture located in Boston Common, the nation's oldest public park, represents different things, depending on the angle from which it is viewed.
Seneca Scott, Coretta Scott King's cousin, slammed the statue's aesthetics in an essay for the online journal Compact.
"For my family, it's rather insulting," wrote Scott, while adding the "sculpture is an especially egregious example of the woke machine's callousness and vanity."

“That MLK statue looks obscene from certain angles, but when you see the whole thing you realize it’s supposed to depict the result of Martin Luther King Jr. and [Coretta] Scott King having gone through the teleporter in The Fly together,” tweeted the Daily Wire’s Frank J. Fleming.
Hayward at Powerline doesn’t care for it either.

From @PAReports: “The ‘Embrace’ sculpture of Dr. Martin Luther King embracing his wife Coretta when he won the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize is quite dreadful. This had to go thru many drafts, eyes and approvals and everyone involved should be disappointed. #mlksculpture #MLKDay2023”
