Students at a Philadelphia high school paid tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. this year by designing special sculptures in his honor.

The sculptures, which are shaped as six-feet tall busts, were inspired by King's quotes and reflected on one of his most memorable ones: "Almost always, the creative dedicated minority has made the world better."

More than 50 young artists, who attend the Philadelphia School of Creative and Performing Arts, unveiled a total of nine sculptures this past Thursday. It was part of an initiative commissioned by Comcast and revealed for the first time to the public during a special ceremony. 

“These statues embody the spirit of collaboration and creativity," one student, who along with others received a certificate from Philadelphia Councilman Kenyatta Johnson, said. "They are important reminders of our history that is forever intertwined with the legacy of Dr. King and the Civil Rights movement.  And by giving form to these, we too have become a part of this great legacy.”

The sculptures will be going on display at prominent locations throughout Philadelphia through the end of February.
