I understand why some black people think that a black artist should be in charge of this project, but for me the most important issue is that the
person selected is associated with the Chinese Communist Party and apparently the marble for the statue will be from China, most likely quarried by
people in near-slave labor conditions.
I'm certain Dr. King would be more concerned with that than color of the artist's skin.
