Rocky Mount Committee Rescinds Motion To Rehire Artist Who Created MLK Statue
Posted — UpdatedROCKY MOUNT, N.C. — A Martin Luther King Jr. statue committee in Rocky Mount has voted to allow all artists who want to create a second statue to be considered.
Committee members voted 5-2 to rescind a motion approved in November to recommend rehiring the artist who created the original statue.
