A 25-foot-tall African statue was unveiled in Rockefeller Center in New York City, United States of America. According to reports, the statue was carved in honour of African culture.
It is said to have been designed by an African American artist, Sanford Biggers. Black Africans and a few Americans are currently disappointed in why a statue like that was sculpted to honour African culture.
In the video or photo, the statue is seen sitting on something that somewhat looks like a throne, with a gold staff in its hand.

Okay.. Um. I am cool with a statue honoring African Culture. But, can some one explain why THIS is the statue design? May be I am missing something because I am Indo-European. But…
