MLK Statue by Huntsville Artist Critiqued

 A large statue of Martin Luther King is being critiqued in a story in the NY Times:

 A statute of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. illuminated at night and surrounded by benches.

"Some critics have pointed to the statue’s disproportionate head, shoes and arms. Dr. King’s shoes were made slightly larger, to evoke the big shoes he had to fill; his left arm was bulked up, to underscore the weight and power of the untitled book he holds; and his head was slightly enlarged, to be better seen, according to the sculptor, Andrew Luy of Huntsville, Ala."
