Tony Rocca recovers the tornado-damaged statue of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. from Fountain Park in St. Louis, where Friday's tornado killed a woman inside the nearby Centennial Christian Church. King's hand, torn away in the storm, was taken by a neighbor for safekeeping.

I talked to him right before this photo was taken. His studio did the restoration of the statue a few years back.

Hi Brandon. I think we met out there. Yes, the studio restored the statue in 2018.
