Its just part of the modern art movement. They couldn’t get away with putting him in a jar of urine or having some deputies defecate on him.

Not to worry. These things only last for a hundred years or so. Then it will be something else to serve as the emperors new clothes.

If one of those balloon tying circus clowns was asked to make a pile of dog shite, it would look exactly like this ‘statue’.

It should be replaced with Lee on horseback.

Why do you think it represents the homosexual community?

Stylized and abstract sculpture, like all abstract art forms, is easy to misinterpret and confers the wrong message almost every time. If ever a statute should be pulled down, this is it. Break it up and form it into a much more positive message, but if nothing else, take it out of public display.

Martin Luther King deserves far better.

Maybe it should have been a statue of the many women he bedded as he was zigzagging across the country promoting civil rights. Nevermind that he was married, of course.

“Maybe it should have been a statue of the many women he bedded as he was zigzagging across the country promoting civil rights.”

We know he had at least one illegitimate child during his marriage. I wonder how many others there are out there.

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.

In 2012, Hockley became the Assistant Curator of Contemporary Art the Brooklyn Museum, a position she held for four years. While working at the Brooklyn Museum, Hockley worked on many exhibitions and related programming, including solo shows featuring LaToya Ruby Frazier, Kehinde Wiley, and Tom Sachs. In 2017, Hockley co-curate, with Catherine Morris, We Wanted a Revolution: Black Radical Women, 1965–85, a show dedicated to female artists of color, and their political and social efforts during second-wave feminism. The show received positive reviews.

Leftists.

It depends on which angle you observe the work:

Mental illness on full display.

Possibly attributable to lax policies regarding use of street narcotics.
