[Redstate] New York City previously tore down a historic Thomas Jefferson statue only to now erect a 12-foot bronze statue of an "overweight black woman," which many blasted as "tasteless" and more.
The statue is called "Grounded in the Stars" and was unveiled on Wednesday in Times Square, created by artist Thomas J. Price. The artist's "Man Series," a stop motion animation, will also appear nightly throughout May on the district’s billboards, providing a "two-part takeover" in the district that "amplifies traditionally marginalized bodies on a monumental scale," per the Times Square website.
Price said, per the Times Square site.
