Embrace sculpture is installed.

Artist: Hank Willis Thomas and the MASS Design Group. A memorial to Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King, The Embrace is located on Boston Common. The bronze sculpture is based on a 1964 photo of the couple, who met while both were attending graduate school in Boston, and is surrounded by a plaza inscribed with the names of 65 local civil rights activists who were near contemporaries of the Kings. It was created by a campaign, originally called King Boston, that was led by businessman Paul English and Revs. Jeffrey Brown and Liz Walker.
