No story ties Arkansas more to Black History Month than the Little Rock Nine and Desegregation Crisis. 2017 was a year of healing and remembering for the members of this original group and the town they called home. New residents of Arkansas are shocked by the events and curious about what’s changed. The Little Rock Central National Historic Site is a great starting point to unfold the story and tour the historic Dunbar community, filled with historical markers.
