A sculpture in Boston that is supposed to “honor” MLK Jr is being referred to as a blob. And that’s the polite term. Much of social media is calling it “pornographic.”
The $10 million statue entitled “The Embrace” was unveiled in Boston. It was supposed to depict a photograph of civil rights leader MLK Jr embracing his wife. But its debut was anything but celebratory. $10 million appears to have gone down the proverbial toilet in the name of “art.”

Why does the MLK Statue in Boston look like a headless person embracing a giant turd or a giant cock? pic.twitter.com/kIAaEJSHtR

Cities all over the US need to approve before hand what “art” goes out in our parks. #Boston to monitor the making of this monstrosity. How much did the artist make from this statue? It needs to be removed. This is not a way to honor #MLK . Disrespectful to say the least. https://t.co/UKS6ehfrvr

Massachusetts is losing tax revenue. Many are leaving & businesses are shutting down. Our roads are in bad shape. Public transportation is not dependable BUT no worries cuz we now have a huge statue of MLK & his wife (only their arms) in the middle of Boston Common. #mapoli pic.twitter.com/Zpz7jfAG0Z

Personally, I have been to modern art exhibitions that make my hair frizz. But I love art, especially when it’s clearly something to which all of us can relate. This one is simply disrespectful. He should have thought about the angles from which it would be viewed. But sadly, in the heat of artwork, that often does not cross the minds of those who like to make abstract depictions.
