What in the world is the proclivity of American sculptors to portray black men as partial persons?
The artistic vision escapes me. In Detroit Joe Louis is sculpted as a giant fist. It should be hilarious, but it is just so awful. Mr. Louis was a complex person,
always disappointed he hadn't gotten an education.
Now we have the statue of Dr.Martin Luther King Jr. as a man with no obvious feet.
Isn't he the proverbial "inventor" of the peaceful MARCH?! Doesn't a march need feet?
Again, I want to laugh - but it is so terrible! Could we maybe vote on the
final depiction of these statues? It couldn't cost all that much to get it on the ballots. Hey, we need a sculpture somewhere in America of an entire black man,
and I need to see it myself.
