In 1964, Martin Luther King, Jr. celebrated his Nobel Peace Prize with an embrace of his wife, Coretta. In Boston, there was another celebration based on that moment. A 20-foot tall, 19-ton bronze sculpture called “The Embrace” that depicts four intertwined arms was unveiled in the nation's oldest public park. Jeffrey Brown has the story for our arts and culture series, "CANVAS."
