Angela Williams+FollowWinter Park’s MLK statue sparks big debateA $500,000 Martin Luther King Jr. statue in Winter Park is turning heads—and not just for its size. Some locals say the proportions look off, calling it awkward and not a true likeness of Dr. King. But the artist says every detail, from the oversized shoes to the big head, is meant to symbolize King’s impact and keep his message visible from all angles. With city leaders saying it’s here to stay, the statue’s bold style is stirring up real conversations about how we honor history. What do you think—should public art aim for realism, or is symbolism just as powerful? #Entertainment #Painting #WinterPark00Share
