It's Martin Luther King, Jr, and it is the new $100M statue being put up in DC to honor him.
The sculptor is Chinese, which explains why MLK has an odd oriental look here. But he also looks mean, and not very smart. It's a travesty. I don't think this is going to give people the let's-take-the-kids-to-see-it good feeling about the man that they were looking for.

And this is someone I should recognize, I guess. But I can't place this face.
Compare this to the Renaissance Masters. Michelangelo. Giambologna. Ammannati. Cellini. Ghiberti. Verocchio.
This sucks. Guess we aren't making any progress in the arts. Regressing, maybe?

I'm assuming that it's meant to be M.L. King, Jr.
OK, AVI, fess up! Who does the sculptor claim this to be?

$100M?????????
How big is it?
Who paid for it?
Did they approve it before they paid for it?
Names, Les, I need names of these fools so I know specifically whom I should hold in contempt.

The speculation is that Hilfiger is in to try and counteract all the urban legends about them that circulate in the black community. Dunno. Could be.
