The MLK statue stands statuesque like a titanic sequoia, carrying a heart as generous as Dr. King's vision. But this artwork, molded by Erik Blome in 1998 under the discerning gaze of the YWCA of Greater Milwaukee, is more than just a scenic piece. Hidden like a precious gem in front of the King Heights apartments, at the heart of the city, it's a tribute not only to Martin Luther King Jr, but to the ideals he championed that echoed around the world.
