What this episode covers

Today marks the first anniversary of the unveiling of The Embrace on Boston Common. While the sculpture is a tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr., Coretta Scott King and their fight for civil rights, the enormity of it is also a testament to the design and architectural teams behind it. It was crafted by MASS Design Group in partnership with artist Hank Willis Thomas. Jha D. Amazi, a Principal at MASS Design Group joins us to talk about the Embrace undertaking and the power of memorials. From there we take a tour of the other public art dedicated to Martin Luther King Jr. that’s hiding in plain sight–from Brookline to the BU Campus. Julia Swanson of the Art Walk Project will lead the way. Finally, we make ourselves at home at The Culture House. The non-profit that turns empty storefronts into community spaces has launched a new pop up in Somerville’s Union Square.
