Dr. MLK x The Master Sculptor
Dr. King said, “judge a man not by the color of his skin but by the contents of his character.” In this case, judge a man not by the color of his skin, but by his artistic ability. “The final selection was done by a mostly African American design team and was based solely on artistic ability.” There was alot of drama over the fact that a Chinese sculptor was chosen for the project. Later for that. Lei Yi Xin is a Master Sculptor. Anytime you see the term “Master” preceding the name of someones trade, it means that person is a BOSS.

With the focus on the native arts of a particular city, the initiative has been a success at every stop. [Read more...]
