We often hear about the same common heroes, but the Ashland Middle School year-long art class wanted to honor a lesser known one. Students created an abstract mural of an activist in the civil rights movement by the name of Bayard Rustin. The mural was created with layers of favorite artistic elements combined with a contrast of warm and cool colors. Expertise and guidance was offered to create a piece displaying a worthy hero for all to admire.
