It came from the piece written by Seneca Scott, Corretta's cousin, who criticized the sculpture

thanks for clearing that up. i think he has some valid points about the statue and the performative nature around it (or most any MLK celebrations). but I just get so annoyed when people use “woke” these days. sometimes I think I’m too online for my own good

In some circles "woke" has become equated with doing something purely symbolic or performative. It seems redundant to say that about public art though, obviously.

Some are just more woke to the woke word.

Hopefully we woke up from all this tho…

I guess leaving the /s is important. Lol

Edit: additional thought added.
