'The Embrace': Boston Looks Ahead To MLK Memorial As Monuments Come Down Across US - Patch.com

BOSTON – After years of planning, a memorial to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his wife, Coretta Scott King, is moving forward in Boston. The non-profit King Boston is coordinating the project.

"While the rest of the country is tearing down memorials to symbols that don't represent us, Boston is building a memorial — a 22-foot, three-story high memorial — that represents who we want to be and who we want to be post-pandemic," said King Boston Executive Director Imari Paris Jeffries. "That feels pretty darn exciting."

'The Embrace' will stand at the site of the 1965 rally and march led by MLK on the Boston Common. Construction wouldn't begin on site until March or April of 2022 because the bronze fabrication of the memorial takes about 18 months.
