The Institute on Race and Ethnicity had a busy November! We were excited to induct fourteen honorees into the Arkansas Civil Rights Heritage Trail at a successful unveiling ceremony and reception with over 200 people in attendance. We also launched the Arkansas Civil Rights History Tour App with our partners at the City of Little Rock and Little Rock Convention and Visitors Bureau. You can download the app for free from your regular app store and take the tour now!
