Oh, that's Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (I kid the King)
I haven't seen the Martin Luther King's Memorial in person but from the pictures of it, I'm not quite sure if I understand all the nuances of the imagery. Right now it just looks like a very pissed off Dr. King ready to get in someone's ass with a rolled up newspaper. Plus, what is with the rocks in the background? Why does it look half-finished? And couldn't we get the man a seat?
If you could provide some insight into the symbolism behind his monument, let me know in the comment section. In the meantime, I'm about to do some reading on the artist and his inspiration for the memorial.
