Linnie Liggins Willis shows off her 1970 University of Mississippi diploma that she received from the university’s provost, Noel Wilkin, on Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2020, on the Ole Miss campus in Oxford, Miss. She was among the eight University of Mississippi students who were suspended from the university for protesting racial inequality in February 1970. Although she had completed her academic requirements to earn the diploma, the university did not award it at the time. The eight suspended students were among 89 African Americans arrested during the protests. (AP Photo / Brittany M. Brown)
