Penn installs a 16-foot sculpture of a Black female figure at entrance to campus

The University of Pennsylvania on Tuesday installed a 16-foot, 5,900 pound bronze-cast sculpture of a Black female figure at its main entrance to campus.

Though in the planning for more than a year, its unveiling comes as the United States welcomes its first Black female vice president elect and as college campuses across the country hear calls to become more inclusive, as concern about racial injustice mounts.

“Its enthralling presence of Black beauty with artistic references to the African diaspora will draw the attention of everyone walking or driving past one of the most traveled corners in West Philadelphia,” Penn president Amy Gutmann said of the piece, titled “Brick House,” that was installed at the 34th and Walnut Streets gateway to the College Green.

What in the world? She ain’t got no eyes!
Looks like the first Black Woman/Android placed on Mars.
It also looks like a fertility symbol.

"Its enthralling presence of Black beauty"

Racist much? And challenged by grammar?

No eyes? So Black women can’t see?

Wow, that a metaphorically ripe piece of dung.

How long before some frat boys paint the base green?

Or maybe they don’t make them like they used to.
