So many of these shitty article leave out all of the details.
https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/huge-new-oracle-greets-rockefeller-center-visitors-new-york-2021-05-06/ A massive new bronze sculpture welcomes visitors to Rockefeller Center in the New York landmark’s first campus-wide show by a single artist. The 25-foot (7.6 m)tall black "Oracle" with a huge head joins murals, flags and videos at the venue, all created by Sanford Biggers, whose artwork also includes music and performance. The seated figure is part of the Harlem-based artist's Chimera series of sculptures that combine African masks and European figures to explore mythologies of those cultures.

Stripping America of its history and its statues while bending over backwards to cater to 13% of the population |
