MLK memorial

[Ravi]

Maybe there's a thread on this, but I'm too lazy to look.

I think it's pretty cool.

 

[California Girl]

I concur.

 

[CaféAuLait]

I think it looks good too, but there are some who are not happy with it:

Critics disapprove of selection of Chinese artist for statue of civil rights leader

You know, there was a time in this country (not too long ago relatively speaking) when the criticism MLK Jr used to get from a certain segment of the population was very similar to what our current President is getting now...including the usage of the terms radical and socialist.

Now look at what's happening/being said about him. Funny that.

Yeah, we all look alike.

no, you're particularly ugly.

 

[DiAnna]

I think it's a great memorial... and because of del's astute observation, I now realize that Eddie Murphy does share a noticeable resemblance to MLK!

The only down side is that the memorial of a man who fought for racial equality his whole life is being criticized because it was created by someone who is Chinese. Petty, and totally inappropriate.

[RadiomanATL]

Did they pay the King family for the licensing of his image?

George Jefferson...?

no, definitely eddie murphy

He looks like a black Hans Solo

Glad to see the memorial built, but it looks foreboding and intimidating to me.
