In November, Jane DeDecker installed her bronze portrait of Daisy Gaston Bates  in Little Rock, AR.  The bronze of the civil rights activist, Arkansas NAACP president, and pioneering black journalist (1914-1999), is situated in Vogel Schwartz Sculpture Park in her former hometown. The portrait is just one acknowledgment of Bates’ legacy in the river town which also boasts a Daisy Bates Museum, several named streets, and a “Daisy Bates Day” celebrated the third Monday of February every year.  The bust also includes a plaque with a quote by the human rights advocate:   “When hate won’t die, use it for good.”  The outdoor sculpture walk winds along the Arkansas River and includes 90 works of art in its collection.
