Segregation in Arkansas: Black History Month Panel – February 15 at 4 PM at Argenta Library 
Segregation and desegregation in Arkansas cannot be understood using the same model that has defined these matters in other Southern states. Throughout the state, the pace at which segregation occurred varied. How Jim Crow laws were manifested in Arkansas differed and was dependent largely on the state's area. Join Argenta Library for a discussion by four well-known community leaders and authors on growing up in segregation.
