Giant Martin Luther King Sculpture Stirs Controversy
"One could argue that some controversy was inevitable no matter what. Memorial sculptures for King have long been lightning rods for racial resentments, black and white. The importance of this one --- the first representation of an African-American and nonpresident to be so honored on the National Mall --- would make it particularly fraught."
