    A 12-foot bronze statue of a black woman, titled “Grounded in the Stars,” has been erected in Times Square, New York City.

    The brainchild of British artist Thomas J. Price, the sculpture serves as a symbolic representation of the average black woman in America to Londoners in England.

    The bronze statue of a woman standing with her hands on her hips has garnered mixed reactions on social media.

    Another X user noted the statue looks like a social awareness campaign for diabetes: “this 12-foot tall statue in times square raises awareness of early-onset type-II diabetes in African-American women.”

    @MattWalshBlog wrote, “They tear down statues of American heroes and replace them with statues of random obese black women.”

    @Sierra_rak wrote, “The statue of a 12 foot ‘plus size’ African American woman has been erected in the middle of Time Square. Looks kinda like Leticia James. Are they trying to scare all tourists?”

    According to Times Square’s official website, “Times Square stands as an iconic symbol and site of convergence, uniting people from all walks of life, individual stories and experiences intersecting on a global platform.”
