On Friday, a 20-foot tall, 40-foot wide bronze sculpture honoring the legacy of civil rights leaders Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King was unveiled on Boston Common. The monument, called “The Embrace,” depicts the couple’s arms embracing each other and has sparked mixed reactions. Seneca Scott, the Kings’ eldest son, defended the monument in a statement, saying it is a symbol of love, hope, and resilience. Martin Luther King III attended the unveiling ceremony and said he was “overwhelmed with emotion” to see the sculpture honoring his parents’ legacy.
