A woman called the design 'inexplicable,' adding, 'it is worse than I ever expected.'

The public reaction to the design of the statue itself, which displays only its subjects' interlocked arms, has been mixed.

A memorial to Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his wife, Coretta Scott King, was presented in Boston Friday.One person on Boston Common Tuesday said that the monument"looks really impressive in person."
