“Embrace,” a monument dedicated to Martin Luther King Jr. and his wife, Coretta Scott King, has been unveiled in Boston, where they first met
Just a few days before what would have been Martin Luther King Jr.’s 94th birthday, “Embrace,” a monument dedicated to King and his wife, Coretta Scott King, has been unveiled in Boston, where they first met. The enormous monument was unveiled on Friday, according to a blog post from Embrace Boston, which works “to dismantle structural racism through their work at the intersection of arts and culture, community, and research and policy.
Multiple trucks carried different pieces of the bronze monument from Washington state to Boston. The final statue was welded and assembled throughout December before its Friday unveiling. “This represents an incredible milestone in our journey towards Boston’s future,” Imari Paris Jeffries, Embrace’s executive director, said in the blog post.
