Sculpture in Houston, Texas, U.S.
An outdoor 2007
bronze sculpture of
Martin Luther King Jr. by American artist
Ed Dwight
[1] is installed in
Hermann Park's
McGovern Centennial Gardens in
Houston, Texas, United States.
[2] The sculpture was vandalized with white paint in August 2017. John D. Harden, Margaret Kadifa, Mike Morris, and Brooke A. Lewis of the
Houston Chronicle noted that the vandalism occurred around the same time that protesters demanded the
removal of Confederate monuments and memorials in Houston, and the same day that the city's
statue of Christopher Columbus was vandalized with red paint.
