Times Square Arts installed a new statue of a 12-foot-tall Black woman in casual clothing, juxtaposing it against the permanent monuments of a chaplain and playwright.

Thomas J. Price's Black woman statue in Times Square is receiving both praise and backlash, with some Black women even criticizing it.

A 12-foot bronze statue depicting a young woman was unveiled in Times Square as part of the "Grounded in the Stars" public art series.
