The black community should be outraged this POS artwork is an insinuation that MLK was part of the gay community!! This sculpture is disgraceful undoubtedly done by a gay activist artist if you can call him an artist at all!!
Well, that’s not going to happen. I was born in New Orleans 55 years, ago, and it’s not getting better, even as I moved to the suburbs years ago in my early 30s. Things are getting worse. Hopefully, I can leave and find peaceful place in my later years.
Along with the farcical city government look at the weird and bizarre statue that is the replacement of the Lee statue. It represents far less skill than the er, ah penile excrement statue in Boston.
Good luck and let me know if you find such a place. I’m just a few years younger than you.
The artist, Hank Willis Thomas, granted awards, one I found interesting: Soros Equality Fellowship, Open Society Foundations 2007
Thomas is married to a woman, Rujeko Hockley (born in Zimbabwe) a New York-based US curator. Hockley is currently an Assistant Curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Educated at the Columbia University (BA)University of California, San Diego.
