Little Rock Arkansas






The State Capital, built in 1899-1911 by using convicts labor. The Brass doors were purchased in 1910 for $10,000
At the Little Rock Central High School visitor center we admired the courage of the Little Rock Nine. The first nine students to brave school desegregation. President Eisenhower had to send in the National Guard to protect them. Unfortunately the struggle for equal rights continues.
