		</div><p>A campaign has been launched to replace a large sculpture of Martin Luther King Jr which critics say does not look like the civil rights leader.</p>
<p>Community activist Samuel Herbert told WIVB-TV he has gathered more than 6,000 signatures in his bid to get a new statue by 2020. He said the 8ft bust that sits in a namesake park in Buffalo, New York, does not look like King. The statue was unveiled in 1983.</p>
<p>While the original artist said the bust was supposed to be a representation, Mr Herbert said “enough of the symbolism, we want realism”. He said he will start fundraising after reaching his goal of 10,000 signatures.</p>
<p>Mr Herbert said he is prepared to take his battle to have the statue removed to court if required.</p>
