The Embrace is a bronze sculpture by Hank Willis Thomas, installed on Boston Common in Boston, Massachusetts, in memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in December 2022. Mr. Thomas was very bold to create a statue that does not show Dr. King's face, nor does it stand out identifying as Dr. King. Â The Embrace statue was costly and is a huge monument of arms and hands holding each other. Mr. Thomas thought it was inspiring too remake the Dr. King and Coretta Scott-King's photo where it took place during a news conference following the announcement that he had been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Â I speak on how I feel and honestly, you'd have to tune in to hear my truth.
