A 20x40ft sculpture dedicated to the late Martin Luther King Jr will be unveiled on Boston Common in January 2023. The Embrace is set to be as symbolic of Boston as the Bean is of Chicago.

The city became a second home to Dr King who, during a rally in 1965 challenged Boston to ‘live by its highest ideals’. Designed by artist Hank Willis Thomas, the sculpture has taken 100 workers to create the final construction.
