CRETE, Neb. (AP) — A private liberal arts college in Crete is adding portraits of five civil rights leaders in an effort to remember the past and signal the school’s hope for the future.

Doane College held a reception last week to honor the creation and acquisition of the pop art-style images of Emmett Till, Ruby Bridges, Leola Bullock, Claudette Colvin and Denise McNair. The portraits, which were painted by Schoo Middle School students, were part of an art project, called “Stand Up Speak Out — Portraits of a Movement,” commemorating the 20th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Youth Rally and March.

All 28 of the initial portraits sold for a total of $4,735, but Doane College commissioned additional work to display in its halls.
