The Embrace

The Embrace in Brighton, MA, is a cultural monument dedicated to celebrating the love and leadership of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King. Unveiled in January 2023 on Boston Common, it serves as a powerful symbol of equity, justice, and Boston's rich history of civil rights activism.

Accompanied by the 1965 Freedom Plaza, which honors 69 civil rights leaders from the Greater Boston area, The Embrace offers a digital experience that allows visitors to explore the history of civil rights in the city. Through artistic and community-driven initiatives, the organization aims to address cultural erasure and promote racial equity and justice across Boston's neighborhoods.
