This is "The Embrace", boasting four intertwined arms.
It was inspired by a photo of the Kings embracing when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. learned he'd won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.
It was designed by artist Hank Willis Thomas and the Mass Design Group and stood out among 126 proposals.
Martin Luther King Jr. first met his wife, Coretta Scott King, in Boston.
This weekend marks the 38th observance of the late civil rights icon's legacy.
In addition to this statue unveiling ceremony, the King holiday weekend also includes a symposium on police brutality in Ohio and community service projects.
Bernice King, the daughter of the late civil rights leader, called on Americans to solidify their own commitments to the fight for racial equity and harmony.
