“It should not tower over MLK because the founder of Georgia...”
Or, Stacy Abrams. Imagine a statue of Stacy Abrams on a 110’ pedestal towering over Atlanta!
Mechanical problem associated with that idea. Put in a pedestal and mount a statue of her on top and you have a severe lever arm problem when the wind blows. And something that large would probably cause a seismic event if it ever blew over.
