Sorry you misunderstood my Lincoln reference. No, I was merely making a statement that a statue of Lincoln’s beard made as little sense in honoring Lincoln as this MLK one did to me. I understand that knowing the back story makes it somewhat more relevant but I’m still not a fan. Like you, I’m glad his son likes it.

I live near Chicago and am very familiar with the head scratching Picasso in Daley Center. Nobody knows what that is supposed to be either but we really weren’t meant to. That doesn’t bother me. It isn’t the abstract that turns me off with the MLK statue. I just don’t see this as a statue honoring the man. Matter of taste for sure.
